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?


[Chorus]
     E             B                       F#             G#m
The waves are crashing down on you 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#  G#m
Get carried, get carried away, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 E          B                   F#    G#m
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)


[Chorus]
     E            B                        F#            G#m
The waves are crashing down on you 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#  G#m
Get carried, get carried away, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 E          B                  F#     G#m
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


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