verse 1 
F,                 Am, 
There is a swelling storm, 
C,                              G 
and i'm caught up in the middle of it all. 
F,                 Am, 
And it takes control, 
                              C 
of the person that I thought I was, 
                    G 
the boy I used to know. 

PRE Chorus #1 
F,               G 
But there, Is a light 
       Am,                    C 
In the dark, and I feel its warmth 
     F,            G 
In my hands, and my heart. 

Dm,       C,      G 
Why can't I hold on? 

PRE Chorus #2 
Am,           F,       C 
It comes and goes in waves, 
    G,     Am, F,  C,     G 
It always does, it always does. 
Am,            F,          C 
We watch as our young hearts fade 
G,        Am,    F, 
into the flood 
C,        G 
Into the flood 
 
       F,           G 
And the freedom, of falling, 
          Am,                 C, 
a feeling I thought was set in stone. 
     F,               G 
It slips through, my fingers, 
          Am,           G 
I'm trying hard to let go, 
   Dm,     C,        G 
but it comes and goes in waves, 
   Dm,     C,        G 
It comes and goes in waves, 
                   F 
and carries us away. 

verse 2: (Same as before but no Pre Chorus 1) 
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. 

PRE Chorus 
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 2 
And the Freedom, of falling, 
a feeling I thought was set in stone. 
It slips through, my fingers, 
I'm trying hard to let go, 
but it comes and goes in waves, 
It comes and goes in waves, 
and carries us away. 

BRIDGE 
F,           Am, 
I watched my wild youth, 
     G,                 C, 
disappear in front of my eyes. 
F,            Am, 
Moments of magic and wonder, 
     G,                C, 
seem so hard to find. 
F,             Am, 
Is it ever coming back again? 
     G,                C, 
Is it ever coming back again? 
F,               Am, 
Take me back to the feeling when, 
        G, 
everything was left to find. 

REFRAIN 
It comes and goes in waves, 
It always does, ow it always does. 

Chorus 
And the Freedom, of falling, 
a feeling I thought was set in stone. 
It slips through, my fingers, 
I'm trying hard to let go, 
but it comes and goes in waves, 
It comes and goes in waves, 
and carries us away.
