Chords

[Intro] B G#m F# E [Verse 1]
         B            G#m
 We were talking on a boardwalk

             F#                       E
 We were lit up when the lights came down

       B                  G#m
 So we drifted toward the music

         F#                    E
 And you kissed me as the sound

           B                 G#m
 Of my favorite band was playing

                F#                   E
 But I couldn't hear them 'cause my heart

              B                G#m
 Was beatin' loud and out a rhythm

          F#                 E
 As you drowned out all the dark
[Chorus]
        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               
That washed it all away
[Instrumental] B G#m F# E [Verse 2]
       B                  G#m
We talked for a couple of hours

           F#             E
We got salt all over our jeans

       B                G#m
And we laughed about forever

         F#                       E
What the hell did that really mean

                 B              G#m
And all of a sudden thanks to you

       F#             E
My favorite color is blue

  B               G#m
I never saw you coming

         F#                   E
Sweet salvation and I never knew
[Chorus]
        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

           F#                         E
I was a Ferris wheel with the light burnt out

                    G#m         F#        B     E
'Til you came along,    when you came along
[Chorus]
        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#
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#
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
[Outro] B G#m F# E (x4)
