Intro: G#m B E B
verse 1
G#m B E
B G#m
We were talking on a boardwalk
B E
We were lit up when the lights came down
B G#m
So we drifted toward the music
B E
And you kissed me as the sound
B G#m
Of my favorite band was playing
B E
But I couldn't hear them 'cause my heart
B G#m
Was beatin' loud and out a rhythm
B E
As you drowned out all the dark
B G#m
I was a boat trapped in a bottle
F#
Dying for water
E
You were the ocean
B G#m
I was a compass that couldn't find heaven
F# E
I didn't know how bad I was broken
B G#m
I was castaway with no land
F# E
I drew a broken heart in the sand
B G#m
And you were the wave the wave the wave
F#
That washed it all
E B
That washed it all away
Instrumental

verse 2
B G#m
We talked for a couple of hours
B E
We got salt all over our jeans
B G#m
And we laughed about forever
B E
What the hell did that really mean
B G#m
And all of a sudden thanks to you
B E
My favorite color is blue
B G#m
I never saw you coming
F# E
Sweet salvation and I never knew
B G#m
I was a boat trapped in a bottle

Dying for water

You were the ocean

I was a compass that couldn't find heaven

I didn't know how bad I was broken

I was castaway with no land

And you were the wave the wave the wave
