Intro:
C        Em          Fmaj7
Violent arms, violent sun

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
