Intro
A C#m E B
[Verse 1]
A C#m E
Staring down the barrel of a hundred tons
(We're on the way)
B A C#m E
It might be getting older, but the night's still young
(We're on the way)
B A C#m E
We never, never give up on the lost boy life
(We're on the way)
B A C#m E B
So here we are, escaping from the world outside
(We're on the way)
[Pre-Chorus]
A C#m B
Oh, what would your mother say if she could see what we're doing now?
A C#m B
Oh, what would your mother say if she could hear what we talk about?
[Chorus]
A E B C#m
The waves are crashing down on you and me again, again, again
A E
The waves are crashing down on you and me
B C#m
I'll see you on the other side
A E B C#m
Get carried, get carried away, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
A E B C#m
Caught up in, caught up in the waves
A C#m E
[Verse 2]
B A C#m E
Suddenly we're fallin' through the twilight zone
(We're on the way)
B A C#m E
Watch the party playing out in slow motion
(We're on the way)
B A C#m E
So tie a ribbon 'round my arm and throw me in
(We're on the way)
B A C#m E B
Is it an apocalypse or nihilism on your lips? We sink or swim
(We're on the way)
[Pre-Chorus]
A C#m B
Oh, what would your mother say if she could see what we're doing now?
A C#m B
Oh, what would your mother say if she could hear what we talk about? (Hey)
[Chorus]
A E B C#m
The waves are crashing down on you and me again, again, again
A E
The waves are crashing down on you and me
B C#m
I'll see you on the other side
A E B C#m
Get carried, get carried away, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
A E B C#m
Caught up in, caught up in the waves
A C#m B x2
[Bridge]
A C#m
The air hit me on the way out
B
Did it make me more sober or make me more drunk?
A C#m B
I couldn't quite remember the vision of you and of me
A C#m
The air hit me on the way out
B
Did it make me more sober or make me more drunk?
A C#m B
I couldn't quite remember the vision of you and of me
[Chorus]
A E B C#m
The waves are crashing down on you and me again, again, again
A E
The waves are crashing down on you and me
B C#m
I'll see you on the other side
A E B C#m
Get carried, get carried away, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
A E B C#m
Caught up in, caught up in the wave
[Outro]
A E B
They're crashing down, they're crashing down, oh
A E
They're crashing down on you and me
B
I'll see you on the other side
