The Waves

E G#m B F#


[Verse 1]
                              E    
Staring down the barrel of a 
    G#m    B
hundred tons

(We're on the way)
    F#                             
It might be getting older, but the 
  E               G#m   B
night's still young

(We're on the way)
     F#                          E
We never, never give up on the 
         G#m     B
lost boy life

(We're on the way)
     F#                          
So here we are, escaping from the 
   E        G#m   B     F#
world outside

(We're on the way)


[Pre-Chorus]
 E                               
Oh, what would your mother say if 
  G#m                            F#
she could see what we're doing now?
 E                               
Oh, what would your mother say if 
  G#m                            F#
she could hear what we talk about?


[Chorus]
     E             B              
The waves are crashing down on you
         F#             G#m
 and me again, again, again
     E           B
The waves are crashing down on you 
and me
      F#               G#m
I'll see you on the other side
 E          B             F#  
Get carried, get carried away, 
G#m
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 E          B                   
Caught up in, caught up in the 
F#    G#m
waves

E G#m B


[Verse 2]
 F#                                
Suddenly we're fallin' through the 
   E     G#m    B
twilight zone

(We're on the way)
 F#                             E 
Watch the party playing out in 
   G#m    B
slow motion

(We're on the way)
F#                                
So tie a ribbon 'round my arm and 
  E      G#m    B
throw me in

(We're on the way)
F#                      E        
Is it an apocalypse or nihilism 
                 G#m       B  F#
on your lips? We sink or swim

(We're on the way)


[Pre-Chorus]
 E                               
Oh, what would your mother say if 
  G#m                           F#
she could see what we're doing now?
 E                                
Oh, what would your mother say if 
G#m                          F#
she could hear what we talk about? 
(Hey)


[Chorus]
     E            B               
The waves are crashing down on you
         F#            G#m
 and me again, again, again
     E           B
The waves are crashing down on you 
and me
      F#              G#m
I'll see you on the other side
 E          B             F#  
Get carried, get carried away, 
G#m
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 E          B                  F#
Caught up in, caught up in the 
     G#m
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


[Chorus]
     E             B              
The waves are crashing down on you
         F#            G#m
 and me again, again, again
     E           B
The waves are crashing down on you 
and me
      F#             G#m
I'll see you on the other side
 E          B             F#  
Get carried, get carried away, 
G#m
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 E          B                  F#
Caught up in, caught up in the 
   G#m
wave


[Other]
E            B                
  They're crashing down, they're 
     F#
crashing down, oh
E           B
  They're crashing down on you and 
me
     F#
I'll see you on the other side
