[Verse 1]
F#m A
The boy who fell to the wave
E G#7
And drowned in his own heartache
F#m A
Sinking into his own fate
E G#7
And failing to see where he was
[Verse 2]
F#m
Cause when he fell
A
He fell too hard
E
And nobody would pick him back up
G#7
Cause nobody could pick him back up
F#m
He waved hello
A
And it took him away
E G#7
The wave was all he gave
[Verse 3]
F#m A
The boy who fell to the wave
E G#7
And suffocated in his own mistakes
F#m A
He was broke, and yet so brave
E
But he wrote until his heartbeat stopped
G#7
And he pushed the thought away
[Verse 4]
F#m
When he cried
A
He fell apart
E
And nobody would listen enough
G#7
Cause nobody could listen enough
F#m
He waved hello
A
With every ounce he had to give
E
And every shred of kindness
G#7
But it took him away
[Outro]
C#m F#m
Now it’s just the boy and the wave
B7 E
And who knows if the boy will cave?
C#m
But maybe he’ll win
F#m B7 E
Or maybe he’ll die when he asphyxiates
C#m F#m
Now it’s just a man and his grave
B7 E
Who knows if he’ll conquer his pain?
C#m
But maybe he’ll lose
F#m
Or maybe he’ll live
B7 E
When he beats the wave
F#m A E G#7
F#m A E E7
