intro  E

             E
verse  You search your mind

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

    In your mind

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

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

         E
verse  Internally

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

    In the end

    You deem unsafe;
     B
    Riding the crest
       A         E
    Of a high and beautiful wave


chorus  You make your movements known...

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

     E
verse  True

    True to form
         A      E
    True to pre-existing norms

    Truly wasted

    At a rave
     B
    Riding the crest
       A         E
    Of a high and beautiful wave
     B
    Riding the crest
       A         E
    Of a high and beautiful wave

instr  E
