[Intro]
Am D
D C G
[Verse 1]
G C D
1 year of lockdown, 3 years being not a man
G C D
20 years before denying everything I can
Am C D
I look at photographs and can’t say who I was
G C D
I’ve driven straight through hell til I could reach the shore
D C D
I never want to go back anymore
G C D
Closing on a decade stepping out of mental fuzz
G C D
Strap on my bathing suit but hesitate because
Am C D
There’s a whirlpool in the lake I can’t define
G C D
But I don’t need to swim, I left my past behind
Am D
The folks who dared to swim say that it’s fine
[Chorus]
C G
Step into the rapids so my trans ancestors say
D Em
It takes a little practice but you’ll be a girl someday
C G
There’s my reflection in the waves, she’s laughing happily
Am D
Maybe I’ll dip my toes in just to see
D C G
If there’s a better way of being me
[Verse 2]
G C D
Sit on the beach, sunbathe, and read a book or three
G C D
There’s nothing wrong with avoiding complexity
Am C D
I hear the siren song over the words I’ve read
G C D
But the worst of my dysphoria is gone with just the sand
D C D
Easier to stay stuck on dry land
G C D
I’ve suddenly stopped reading, and the whirlpool lies ahead
G C D
The waves dance playfully, a story yet unread
Am C D
It’s beautiful and messy and it feels so far away
G C D
Three steps from the whirlpool I’m afraid
Am D
The folks who dared to swim say it’s okay
[Chorus]
C G
Step into the rapids so my trans ancestors say
D Em
It takes a little practice but you’ll be a girl someday
C G
There’s my reflection in the waves, she’s laughing happily
Am D
Maybe I’ll walk a bit in just to see
D C G
If there’s a better way of being me
[Verse 3]
G C D
A little envy saved for those who came before
G C D
They’re magic in the way I want to be them all the more
Am C D
For friends who cared to guide me I can’t give quite enough thanks
G C D
I’ve come this far to stop being a boy
D C D
Don’t I want to meet them in their joy?
G C D
It feels so easy to just wallow in my angst
G C D
But the water’s warm and maybe I could join their ranks
Am C D
I either want to run or know it’s something that I crave
G C D
When did I step into the waves?
Am D
The folks who dared to swim say that I’m safe
[Chorus]
C G
Step into the rapids so my trans ancestors say
D Em
It takes a little practice but you’ll be a girl someday
C G
There’s my reflection in the waves, she’s laughing happily
Am D
Maybe I’ll swim a few laps just to see
D C G
If there’s a better way of being me
[Verse 4]
G C D
Now I see the whirlpool was always made for me
G C D
Big enough to hold all the new femininity
Am C D
I don’t think I was ever really on the shore
G C D
But now I know where I can be
D C D
What was I scared of in the sea?
G C D
Welcome to the world, quenching years of internal war
G C D
Always walking for the whirlpool, now I see its floor
Am C D
There’s no distinction between land and the unknown
G C D
No longer quite so monochrome
Am D
The folks who dared to swim say welcome home
[Chorus]
C G
Step into the rapids so my trans ancestors say
D Em
It takes a little practice but you’ll be a girl someday
C G
There’s my reflection in the waves, she’s laughing happily
Am D
And I didn’t know that I wanted to be
C G
Step into the rapids so my trans ancestors say
D Em
It takes a little practice but you’ll be a girl someday
C G
There’s my new body in the waves, she’s laughing happily
Am D
Dive into the whirlpool cause I see
D C G
That she’s a better way of being me
