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

Caught up in, caught up in the waves

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