Intro:
C majorC    E minorEm     Fmaj7Fmaj7
Violent arms, violent sun
C majorC    E minorEm     Fmaj7Fmaj7
Violent arms, violent sun

Verse 1:
C majorC
And you realise you don't know how long
E minorEm
That the river has been sweeping you along
Fmaj7Fmaj7
Past the dreams and the colour and the moment
C majorC
And the way the light is entering your eyes
E minorEm
And the problem that you're having with your mind
Fmaj7Fmaj7
And the tears and the venom and the plasma

C majorC
And the patterns in her rippling hair
E minorEm
Are collapsing into animal prayer
Fmaj7Fmaj7
And you might get out if only you could read them
C majorC
And you heard it from the whispering wall
E minorEm
Like the miracle of anything at all
Fmaj7Fmaj7
There's a way that you don't ever have to be


Pre-Chorus:
  DmDm      FF
A augmentedA lunatic or an error
    DmDm       FF
Or a prisoner of your terror
  DmDm       F/CF/C  C majorC
I'm too old to be crying out

Chorus:
C majorC       E minorEm
I wanna be there
     FF     E minorEm
When the wild wave comes
F minorFm  G+G      C majorC
And we're swept away
       E minorEm
I wanna be there
     FF     E minorEm
When the wild wave comes
Ab/Eb G/DG/D
For... us


Verse 2:
C majorC
And she takes you in her violent arms
E minorEm
And you stare into the violent sun
Fmaj7Fmaj7
And you know this will be gone in the morning
C majorC
And the flesh in the machinery jams
E minorEm
And they come to take the rest of our hands
Fmaj7Fmaj7
But the feeling of her skin on your fingers

C majorC
And you can barely make a silhouette out
E minorEm
And you open your ventriloquist mouth
Fmaj7Fmaj7
And the words are wrong but in the right order
C majorC
And you know it has to happen tonight
E minorEm
And you feel it for the very first time
Fmaj7Fmaj7
And she's saying you don't always have to be


Pre-Chorus:
  DmDm      FF
A augmentedA lunatic or an error
    DmDm       FF
Or a prisoner of your terror
  DmDm       F/CF/C  C majorC
I'm too old to be crying out


Chorus:
C majorC       E minorEm
I wanna be there
     FF     E minorEm
When the wild wave comes
F minorFm  G+G      C majorC
And we're swept away
       E minorEm
I wanna be there
     FF     E minorEm
When the wild wave comes
Ab/Eb G/DG/D
For... us

When the wild wave comes

And we're swept away
       E minorEm
I wanna be there

When the wild wave comes

For... us


Refrain:
C majorC
Then she takes you in her violent arms
E minorEm
And you stare into the violent sun
Fmaj7Fmaj7
And the words are wrong but in the right order
C majorC
And she takes you in her violent arms
E minorEm
And you stare into the violent sun
Fmaj7Fmaj7                    C majorC
And you know this will be gone in the morning
