[Verse 1]
Em G
The boy who fell to the wave
D F#7
And drowned in his own heartache
Em G
Sinking into his own fate
D F#7
And failing to see where he was
[Verse 2]
Em
Cause when he fell
G
He fell too hard
D
And nobody would pick him back up
F#7
Cause nobody could pick him back up
Em
He waved hello
G
And it took him away
D F#7
The wave was all he gave
[Verse 3]
Em G
The boy who fell to the wave
D F#7
And suffocated in his own mistakes
Em G
He was broke, and yet so brave
D
But he wrote until his heartbeat stopped
F#7
And he pushed the thought away
[Verse 4]
Em
When he cried
G
He fell apart
D
And nobody would listen enough
F#7
Cause nobody could listen enough
Em
He waved hello
G
With every ounce he had to give
D
And every shred of kindness
F#7
But it took him away
[Outro]
Bm Em
Now it’s just the boy and the wave
A7 D
And who knows if the boy will cave?
Bm
But maybe he’ll win
Em A7 D
Or maybe he’ll die when he asphyxiates
Bm Em
Now it’s just a man and his grave
A7 D
Who knows if he’ll conquer his pain?
Bm
But maybe he’ll lose
Em
Or maybe he’ll live
A7 D
When he beats the wave
Em G D F#7
Em G D E7
