     D#                D#6
Oh, wave crash down on me
           D#        D#6
Until I'm whole again
      D#
Like days of old
   D#6            D#maj7 D#6
I see myself and rise

I'm drying out in this weather
Feeling of parasites
And the time when the night feels better
Is when you don't go

Chorus:
  G#        Fm          D#maj7 Cm
A taste as bitter as before
          G#            Fm                 D#maj7 Cm
We could waste all the best of times 'til we know
      G#         Fm               D#maj7 Cm
That lights and shapes they only fade
        G#        Fm         D#maj7 Cm
In the hold that washes all away
       D#
What a wave
       G#
What a wave
       D#
What a wave
       G#
What a wave

The rose's thorn still reaches out to pierce my
skin
It grows me warm and cloudys up my mind
Everybody has an opinion
I don't like most of them
'Cause the life that we live is better living
Than living alone

Chorus:
The taste, as bitter as before
We could waste all the best of times 'til we know
That lights and shapes they only fade
In the hold that washes all away
What a wave
What a wave
What a wave
What a wave

D#
I'm drying out in this weather
            G#
Feeling of parasites
         D#
And the time when the night feels better
                  G#
Is when you don't go

What a wave
What a wave
What a wave
What a wave

I'm drying out in this weather
Feeling of parasites
And the time when the night feels better
Is when you don't go - x2

What a wave
What a wave
What a wave
What a wave
