[Intro]
C        Em          Fmaj7
Violent arms, violent sun

C        Em          Fmaj7
Violent arms, violent sun
[Verse 1]
C
And you realise you don't know how long

Em
That the river has been sweeping you along

Fmaj7
Past the dreams and the colour and the moment

C
And the way the light is entering your eyes

Em
And the problem that you're having with your mind

Fmaj7
And the tears and the venom and the plasma

C
And the patterns in her rippling hair

Em
Are collapsing into animal prayer

Fmaj7
And you might get out if only you could read them

C
And you heard it from the whispering wall

Em
Like the miracle of anything at all

Fmaj7
There's a way that you don't ever have to be
[Pre-Chorus]
   Dm            F
A lunatic or an error

       Dm              F
Or a prisoner of your terror

    Dm             F/C    C
I'm too old to be crying out
[Chorus]
C             Em
I wanna be there

          F          Em
When the wild wave comes

Fm   G           C
And we're swept away

              Em
I wanna be there

          F         Em
When the wild wave comes

Ab/Eb G/D
For... us
[Verse 2]
C
And she takes you in her violent arms

Em
And you stare into the violent sun

Fmaj7
And you know this will be gone in the morning

C
And the flesh in the machinery jams

Em
And they come to take the rest of our hands

Fmaj7
But the feeling of her skin on your fingers

C
And you can barely make a silhouette out

Em
And you open your ventriloquist mouth

Fmaj7
And the words are wrong but in the right order

C
And you know it has to happen tonight

Em
And you feel it for the very first time

Fmaj7
And she's saying you don't always have to be
[Pre-Chorus]
   Dm            F
A lunatic or an error

       Dm              F
Or a prisoner of your terror

    Dm             F/C    C
I'm too old to be crying out
[Chorus]
C             Em
I wanna be there

          F          Em
When the wild wave comes

Fm   G           C
And we're swept away

              Em
I wanna be there

          F         Em
When the wild wave comes

Ab/Eb G/D
For... us
[Bridge]
A G           F          Em Dm Bb
    When the wild wave comes

A G F Em Dm Bb   C
            Heeeeeey...
[Chorus]
C             Em
I wanna be there

          F          Em
When the wild wave comes

Fm   G           C
And we're swept away

              Em
I wanna be there

          F         Em
When the wild wave comes

Ab/Eb G/D
For... us
[Refrain]
C
Then she takes you in her violent arms

Em
And you stare into the violent sun

Fmaj7
And the words are wrong but in the right order

C
And she takes you in her violent arms

Em
And you stare into the violent sun

Fmaj7                                        C
And you know this will be gone in the morning
