F#  D#m  C#  B  C#  


F#     D#m         C#     F#
Your friends they said to me
                D#m   C#       F#       
that you were talking in your sleep
          D#m   C#      B   C#  
about the promises you keep


F#                   D#m        C#    F#
I know you drifted through the early years
           D#m      C#       F#
You could fight to pass the time
            D#m      C#         B              C#
When they found you, you were dealing with it fine


B        C#       A#m     B
Hard to tell you what it goes to
B            C#     A#m           B
Hard-earned paper, you're holding on to
B                C#            A#m                B
It's all honest praise for the ways you make them do
                   C#  
All the things you do


F#                 D#m      C#      F#
Whats up with the waves out on the coast
                 D#m     C#        F#
You say that's something I should know
                  D#m       C#          B    C#
I think there's something they're not saying


F#           D#m    C#       F#
When you survive it all the same
            D#m           C#        F#
You're so impressed they know your name
               D#m      C#        B     C#
And you're in love with how they say it



B        C#       A#m     B
Hard to tell you what it goes to
B            C#     A#m           B
Hard-earned paper, you're holding on to
B                C#            A#m                B
It's all honest praise for the ways you make them do
                   C#  
All the things you do


F#                  D#m   C#    F#
When they find you lying wide awake
       D#m         C#   F#
Your friends have gone away
  D#m   C#       B  C#
I overheard you say


F#          D#m      C#      F#
I see some waves out on the surf
               D#m     C#         F#
They know you finally found your nerve
             D#m      C#      B     C#
And now they wait for you to say it
