The Wave

	  		
Intro: G#m B E B 

verse 1 
G#m B E 
         B            G#m 
 We were talking on a boardwalk 
             B                       E 
 We were lit up when the lights came down 
       B                  G#m 
 So we drifted toward the music 
         B                    E 
 And you kissed me as the sound 
           B                 G#m 
 Of my favorite band was playing 
                B                   E 
 But I couldn't hear them 'cause my heart 
              B                G#m 
 Was beatin' loud and out a rhythm 
          B                 E 
 As you drowned out all the dark 


        B                 G#m 
I was a boat trapped in a bottle 
          F# 
Dying for water 
             E 
You were the ocean 
        B                           G#m 
I was a compass that couldn't find heaven 
         F#                 E 
I didn't know how bad I was broken 
      B                G#m 
I was castaway with no land 
         F#                  E 
I drew a broken heart in the sand 
                 B                 G#m 
And you were the wave the wave the wave 
     F# 
That washed it all 
     E               B 
That washed it all away 


Instrumental

verse 2 
       B                  G#m 
We talked for a couple of hours 
       B                 E 
We got salt all over our jeans 
       B                G#m 
And we laughed about forever 
         B                       E 
What the hell did that really mean 
                 B              G#m 
And all of a sudden thanks to you 
       B             E 
My favorite color is blue 
  B               G#m 
I never saw you coming 
         F#                   E 
Sweet salvation and I never knew 


        B                 G#m 
I was a boat trapped in a bottle 
          F# 
Dying for water 
             E 
You were the ocean 
        B                           G#m 
I was a compass that couldn't find heaven 
         F#                 E 
I didn't know how bad I was broken 
      B                G#m 
I was castaway with no land 
         F#                  E 
I drew a broken heart in the sand 
                 B                 G#m 
And you were the wave the wave the wave 
     F# 
That washed it all 
     E                 B G#m F# E B G#m F# E 
That washed it all away 


Bridge 
        B                   G#m 
I was a town closed for winter 
           B 
I was a Ferris wheel with the light burnt out 
                    G#m                B     E 
'Til you came along,    when you came along 

Chorus 
        B                 G#m 
I was a boat trapped in a bottle 
          B 
Dying for water 
             E 
You were the ocean 
        B                           G#m 
I was a compass that couldn't find heaven 
         B 
I didn't know how bad I was broken 
     B                G#m 
I was castaway with no land 
         F#                  E 
I drew a broken heart in the sand 
     F# 
That washed it all 
     E                 B G#m F# 
That washed it all away 
         E                 B G#m F# E 
Yeah you washed it all away 
             B                 G#m  F# 
You were the wave the wave the wave 
          E             B    G#m F# E 
Yeah that washed it all away
