Intro
D F#m A E
[Verse 1]
D F#m A
Staring down the barrel of a hundred tons
(We're on the way)
E D F#m A
It might be getting older, but the night's still young
(We're on the way)
E D F#m A
We never, never give up on the lost boy life
(We're on the way)
E D F#m A E
So here we are, escaping from the world outside
(We're on the way)
[Pre-Chorus]
D F#m E
Oh, what would your mother say if she could see what we're doing now?
D F#m E
Oh, what would your mother say if she could hear what we talk about?
[Chorus]
D A E F#m
The waves are crashing down on you and me again, again, again
D A
The waves are crashing down on you and me
E F#m
I'll see you on the other side
D A E F#m
Get carried, get carried away, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
D A E F#m
Caught up in, caught up in the waves
D F#m A
[Verse 2]
E D F#m A
Suddenly we're fallin' through the twilight zone
(We're on the way)
E D F#m A
Watch the party playing out in slow motion
(We're on the way)
E D F#m A
So tie a ribbon 'round my arm and throw me in
(We're on the way)
E D F#m A E
Is it an apocalypse or nihilism on your lips? We sink or swim
(We're on the way)
[Pre-Chorus]
D F#m E
Oh, what would your mother say if she could see what we're doing now?
D F#m E
Oh, what would your mother say if she could hear what we talk about? (Hey)
[Chorus]

The waves are crashing down on you and me again, again, again

The waves are crashing down on you and me
E F#m
I'll see you on the other side

[Bridge]
D F#m
The air hit me on the way out
E
Did it make me more sober or make me more drunk?
D F#m E
I couldn't quite remember the vision of you and of me
D F#m
The air hit me on the way out
E
Did it make me more sober or make me more drunk?
D F#m E
I couldn't quite remember the vision of you and of me
[Chorus]
D A E F#m
The waves are crashing down on you and me again, again, again
D A
The waves are crashing down on you and me
E F#m
I'll see you on the other side
D A E F#m
Get carried, get carried away, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
D A E F#m
Caught up in, caught up in the wave
[Outro]
D A E
They're crashing down, they're crashing down, oh
D A
They're crashing down on you and me
E
I'll see you on the other side
