Waves

Intro: 

 


Em        D 
The night we broke out 
G 
Neighbourhood penitentiary 
Em         D 
We drove to the coast and 
Em 
Laughed for a century 

Em     D 
You sunk your feet 
        G 
In the empty beach 

And took off all your clothes 

Em              D 
Said "I'm never going home now 
G 
Who's gonna tell me no" 

Em         D 
Freedom ain't it frightening mm 
Em            D 
Like swimming in the lightning 
Em      D 
Deadly but delighting 
Em           D 
Lips against the sky now 

So bold 


You told me 
Em            D 
"It always tastes good 
   G          C 
When I choose it for myself 
Em               D 
When there's fire in my woods 
      G        Am 
It burns me and nobody else 
Em          D 
I know I fuck up 
    G             C 
But as long as I show up 
Em              D 
It'll always taste good" 
G   Am 
Mmmmmm 


 


Em           D 
I woke up in the waves 
G 
Listening to your laughter 
Em        D 
The Odyssey sixth chapter 
Em 
You were still naked 
G 
Impressionist painting 

Em 
You came to me 
         D 
Said run away with me 
   G 
Drew lines on my cheeks 
 Em            D 
With the mud from the ground 
 G 
Whispered 

"Paradise ain't lost it's found" 

Whatever 


You told me 
Em            D 
"It always tastes good 
   G          C 
When I choose it for myself 
Em               D 
When there's fire in my woods 
      G        Am 
It burns me and nobody else 
Em          D 
I know I fuck up 
    G             C 
But as long as I show up 
Em              D 
It'll always taste good" 
G   Am 
Mmmmmm 


Em           D 
Freedom ain't it frightening 
Em               D 
No one to make you do the right thing 
Em 
What's the right thing 


You told me 
Em            D 
"It always tastes good 
   G          C 
When I choose it for myself 
Em               D 
When there's fire in my woods 
      G        Am 
It burns me and nobody else

Em              D 
It'll always taste good" 
G   Am
