              G                        D  
He’s always trouble with his non-complacence
         C              Em 
Shotgun eyes, shotgun eyes
     C              Em   C
His subtlety, his mystery
                    D
Not like the other guys

She’s always taken by his reputation
He’s so bad, he’s so bad
On Saturday night, they’re running for the shadow

Chorus:
              C                      D Em
You say your heart ain't ever been broken,
C                               D Em
you think you know where you're going.
       G           Em    Am7               D
Tidal wave, tidal wave, come rushing over me.
You say this life has given you nothing,
you got another thing coming.
Tidal wave, tidal wave, come rushing over me.

He’ll get a warning sign to keep his distance
From her old man, from her old man
Now the story of forbidden love
Has got to make a stand

           G                    D  
So in the middle of the early morning
               C          E
They’ll slip away, slip away

C        D                    Em
And we know they’ll do their best
          A              C
Somewhere in the golden west
     Em  D                      Em
Oh yeah, and we’ll watch them drive
C            Em  G D
They’re so alive

Chorus:
You say your heart ain't ever been broken
You think you know where you're going
Tidal wave, tidal wave come rushing over me
You say this life has given you nothing
You got another thing coming
Tidal wave, tidal wave come rushing over me
Tidal wave

       C                G             D
These tidal waves are caught off track,
                      Em
come tomorrow 'cos I can't go back.
C             Em
All together, can't you see,
Am                D
tidal wave gonna cover me.
       C                G             D
These tidal waves are caught off track,
                      Em
come tomorrow 'cos I can't go back.
 C             Em
Come together, can't you see,
 Am               D
tidal wave gonna cover me.

Cover me,
I can't go back.
Can't you see?
