The Waves

 
              
Intro 
E G#m B F# 
 
verse 1 
                              E        G#m    B 
Staring down the barrel of a hundred tons 
 
(We're on the way) 
    F#                               E               G#m   B 
It might be getting older, but the night's still young 
 
(We're on the way) 
     F#                          E         G#m     B 
We never, never give up on the lost boy life 
 
(We're on the way) 
     F#                             E        G#m   B     F# 
So here we are, escaping from the world outside 
 
(We're on the way) 
 
Pre-Chorus 
 E                                 G#m                            F# 
Oh, what would your mother say if she could see what we're doing now? 
 E                                 G#m                            F# 
Oh, what would your mother say if she could hear what we talk about? 
 
     E             B                       F# 
The waves are crashing down on you and me again, again, again 
     E           B 
The waves are crashing down on you and me 
      F# 
I'll see you on the other side 
 E          B             F# 
Get carried, get carried away, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh 
 E          B             F# 
Caught up in, caught up in the waves 
 
E G#m B 
 
verse 2 
 F#                                   E     G#m    B  
Suddenly we're fallin' through the twilight zone 
 
(We're on the way) 
 F#                             E    G#m    B 
Watch the party playing out in slow motion 
 
(We're on the way) 
F#                                  E      G#m    B  
So tie a ribbon 'round my arm and throw me in 
 
(We're on the way) 
F#                      E                         G#m       B  F# 
Is it an apocalypse or nihilism on your lips? We sink or swim 
 
(We're on the way) 
 
Pre-Chorus 
 E                                 G#m                           F# 
Oh, what would your mother say if she could see what we're doing now? 
 E                                G#m                          F# 
Oh, what would your mother say if she could hear what we talk about? (Hey) 
 
     E            B                        F# 
The waves are crashing down on you and me again, again, again 
     E           B 
The waves are crashing down on you and me 
      F# 
I'll see you on the other side 
 E          B             F# 
Get carried, get carried away, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh 
 E          B                  F# 
Caught up in, caught up in the waves 
 
E G#m F# x2 
 
Bridge 
     E                 G#m 
The air hit me on the way out 
        F# 
Did it make me more sober or make me more drunk? 
E                   G#m       F# 
I couldn't quite remember the vision of you and of me 
     E                 G#m 
The air hit me on the way out 
        F# 
Did it make me more sober or make me more drunk? 
E                   G#m       F# 
I couldn't quite remember the vision of you and of me 
 
     E             B                       F# 
The waves are crashing down on you and me again, again, again 
     E           B 
The waves are crashing down on you and me 
      F# 
I'll see you on the other side 
 E          B             F# 
Get carried, get carried away, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh 
 E          B                  F# 
Caught up in, caught up in the wave 
 
Outro 
E            B                     F# 
  They're crashing down, they're crashing down, oh 
E           B 
  They're crashing down on you and me 
     F#m 
I'll see you on the other side
