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

[Bridge]
A# Dm
The air hit me on the way out
C
Did it make me more sober or make me more drunk?
A# Dm C
I couldn't quite remember the vision of you and of me
A# Dm
The air hit me on the way out
C
Did it make me more sober or make me more drunk?
A# Dm C
I couldn't quite remember the vision of you and of me
[Chorus]

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

The waves are crashing down on you and me

Caught up in, caught up in the wave

They're crashing down, they're crashing down, oh
A# F
They're crashing down on you and me
C
I'll see you on the other side
