G                    Bm
There is a swelling storm
         D                            A
And I'm caught up in the middle of it all
        G        Bm                          D
And it takes control of the person that I thought I was
                    A
The boy I used to know
G           A            Bm
There is a light in the dark
D               G
And I feel its warmth
       A            Bm
In my hands, in my heart
Em        D      A
Why can't I hold on?

Bm            G      D
It comes and goes in waves
A         Bm   G   D       A
It always does, it always does
    Bm           G            D
We watch as our young hearts fade
A         Bm  G D          A
Into the flood, into the flood

Chorus:
G           A
The freedom, of falling,
Bm                  D           A       G
The feeling that I thought was set in stone
G              A
Slips through my fingers
Bm      D
Trying hard to let go
Em            D       A
It comes and goes in waves
Em            D       A
It comes and goes in waves
A
It carries us away

Through the wind
Down to the place we used to lay when we were kids
Memories of a stolen place
Caught in the silence, an echo lost in space

It comes and goes in waves
It always does, it always does
We watch as our young hearts fade
Into the flood, into the flood

Chorus

G             Bm         A             D
I watched my wild youth disappear in front of my eyes
G           Bm        A
Moments of magic and wonder
A
Seems so hard to find
G            Bm
Is it coming back again?
A                  D
Is it ever coming back again?
G                    Bm
Take me back to the feeling when
A
Everything was left to find

Bm            G       D
It comes and goes in waves
A          Bm  G   D        A
It always does, it always does

Chorus
