VERSE
D#m B C# Abm
While I quietly stroll through the air
B F# C# C#
All your little jokes
D#m B C# Abm
Any smoke from any old fire
B F# C# C#
Keep your trasheap stoked
D#m B C# Abm
Did I mention I may forget
B F# C# C#
Why I even came
D#m B C# Abm
I'm addicted so I'm absolved
B F# C# C#
From any cause and pain
CHORUS
B Abm
Here comes, a wave
F# C#
It's higher than any one before
B Abm
My love, be brave
F# C#
As it knocks our bodies back to shore
B Abm
Eyes closed, we see
F# C#
Green blades dancing in the sun
B Abm
Maybe, we've been
F# C#
Putting on a show for everyone

Pull the chord and see how we fly
B F# C# C#
With only ourselves to blame
CHORUS
B Abm
And I bet, you'll stay
F# C#
If you knew what would happen if you did
B Abm
Who cares, we'll say
F# C#
As I cast my ribbons to the wind
B Abm
We've always been
F# C#
stars with million dollar guns
B Abm
We eat for free
F# C#
To put on a show for everyone
REPEAT x6
And fade out with some nice harmonious humming.
