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