intro  E MajorE

             E MajorE
verse  You search your mind

    That's what it's there for
            A augmentedA
    Check all the whys'
           E MajorE
    And all the wherefores'

    In your mind

    You're tall and brave
     BB
    Riding the crest
       A augmentedA         E MajorE
    Of a high and beautiful wave

    E MajorE
chorus  You make your movements known
       D MajorD        A augmentedA
    And where you want to be
    E MajorE
    And everybody knows
        D MajorD        A augmentedA
    That's how it's got to be
    E MajorE     D MajorD    A augmentedA    E MajorE
    In the sheltered morning sun
         D MajorD    A augmentedA    E MajorE
    In the sheltered morning sun

         E MajorE
verse  Internally

    You make your own rules
            A augmentedA
    You'll have excuses
            E MajorE
    The ones that you choose

    In the end

    You deem unsafe;
     BB
    Riding the crest
       A augmentedA         E MajorE
    Of a high and beautiful wave

chorus  You make your movements known...

            E minorEm A minorAm
inter  There comes a time
       D MajorD           G+G
    You don't even know what's missing
       C majorC         D MajorD     E MajorE
    Some sugar to make the pill go down
          E minorEm A minorAm
    You need a line
      D MajorD          G+G
    A augmentedA push in the right direction
       C majorC          D MajorD     E MajorE
    The sugar that makes the pill go down

     E MajorE
verse  True

    True to form
         A augmentedA      E MajorE
    True to pre-existing norms

    Truly wasted

    At a rave
     BB

       A augmentedA         E MajorE
    Of a high and beautiful wave
     BB

       A augmentedA         E MajorE
    Of a high and beautiful wave
