[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
