           Em            F           G   Am        
(When your best friend's all strung out) 
       Em              F   
You do everything you can  
               G           Am 
'Cause you're never gonna let it get 'em down 
          Em       F     G   Am 
(When you find it all around) 
    Em                 F          G                 Am 
Yeah, it comes in waves but it's hardest from the start 



verse 1: 

Am 
Feelings sleeping in the field again 
      G 
I can feel, I can feel, I can feel 
                   Am    Dm  Em 
It's beginning to end 
Am  
Premonitions smiling in the dark 
      G                         
I can see, I can see, I can see 
                         Dm  C/B  F  
The story's starting to arc 
G 
 It dries up 


Pre-Chorus 

Am 
  I've been a spoken word 
Am 
  I've been a river bed 
Am 
  I've been a rabid force 
Am 
  And let it flow out from within 
G                                                    Dm   C/B 
 Sometimes it feels like I only dream in black and white 
    F          G 
And color's so oh 



           Em            F           G   Am        
(When your best friend's all strung out) 
       Em              F   
You do everything you can  
               G           Am 
'Cause you're never gonna let it get 'em down 
          Em       F     G   Am 
(When you find it all around) 
         Em                  F 
Yeah you say it's what you need 
              G                Am 
And hide your eyes when you're close to me 
           Em       F        G   Am 
(With your feet up in the clouds) 
    Em              F             G                 Am              
Well, it comes to waves but it's hardest from the start 


verse 2:
 
Am 
Waves in theta sleeping into dreams 
      G 
I can feel, I can feel, I can feel 
                Am   Dm  Em 
The celestial beings 
Am  
Wilted pleasures leave you with a breath 
      G 
I can see, I can see, I can see 
                   Dm  C/B  F 
The beauty in the mess 
G 
 It dries up 


Pre-Chorus 2: 

Am 
  I've been a river bed 
Am  
  I tried to salt the wound 
Am 
  I've carried more than I can 
Am 
  I feel I've got a lot to prove 
G                                                    Dm  C/B 
 Sometimes it feels like I only dream in black and white 
    F          G 
And color's so oh 



           Em            F           G   Am        
(When your best friend's all strung out) 
       Em              F   
You do everything you can  
               G           Am 
'Cause you're never gonna let it get 'em down 
          Em       F     G   Am 
(When you find it all around) 
         Em                  F 
Yeah you say it's what you need 
              G                Am 
And hide your eyes when you're close to me 
           Em       F        G   Am 
(With your feet up in the clouds) 
Em             F           G              Am         
  You oughta know that I'm here no matter where you go 
           Em           F      G    Am 
(With your head hanging upside down) 
    Em              F             G                 Am              
Well, it comes to waves but it's hardest from the start 


Bridge: 


F  Am  G      Em                        F            
        I am here, no matter where you are 
    Am                Em        
I'm waiting here with open arms 
                     F 
No matter where you are 
              Am                    Em 
Sometimes you have to wait until it passes by 
                      F 
Like a satellite or star 
   Am                Em 
No matter where you are
