[Verse 1]
Dm F
The boy who fell to the wave
C E7
And drowned in his own heartache
Dm F
Sinking into his own fate
C E7
And failing to see where he was
[Verse 2]
Dm
Cause when he fell
F
He fell too hard
C
And nobody would pick him back up
E7
Cause nobody could pick him back up
Dm
He waved hello
F
And it took him away
C E7
The wave was all he gave
[Verse 3]
Dm F
The boy who fell to the wave
C E7
And suffocated in his own mistakes
Dm F
He was broke, and yet so brave
C
But he wrote until his heartbeat stopped
E7
And he pushed the thought away
[Verse 4]
Dm
When he cried
F
He fell apart
C
And nobody would listen enough
E7
Cause nobody could listen enough
Dm
He waved hello
F
With every ounce he had to give
C
And every shred of kindness
E7
But it took him away
[Outro]
Am Dm
Now it’s just the boy and the wave
G7 C
And who knows if the boy will cave?
Am
But maybe he’ll win
Dm G7 C
Or maybe he’ll die when he asphyxiates
Am Dm
Now it’s just a man and his grave
G7 C
Who knows if he’ll conquer his pain?
Am
But maybe he’ll lose
Dm
Or maybe he’ll live
G7 C
When he beats the wave
Dm F C E7
Dm F C E7
