Intro Am Am F G Am F G Am F G Am F G AmAm I pour another glass F Got to get some sleep Am Pictures of the past Am Rolling over me Am Big Moon on the rise C Comes to read my mind F When you're running from yourself Am There's no good place to hideVerse 1:
F Tide is rising, and I'm ridingPre-Chorus
( F G Am ) ( F G Am )G Waves Am C G They take me down, no one here gonna save me now G Waves Am C G They knock me off my feet G Waves Am C G Now I understand, I see her face, I see her hand G Am And she waves, then fades away from meAm We're made of love and war C Got too far from the shore F Am Thought you were waving, you were drowning Am Our footprints in the sand C Water through my hand F Am I just can't wrap my arms around youVerse 2:
F Tide is rising, and I'm ridingPre-Chorus
G Waves Am C G They take me down, no one here gonna save me now G Waves Am C G They knock me off my feet G Waves Am C G Now I understand, I see her face, I see her hand G Am F G Am And she waves, then fades away from meF Put our boat out on the river C G Never made it to the sea F I thought we were being reckless C G You thought we were being free F Now I dream we're in the ocean Am G F And I'm sinking as you drift away from me F Tide is rising, and I'm riding Solo G Am C G G Am C G G Am C G G Am C GBridge:
