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