Intro:

F# D#m C#

F# D#m C# B C#

F# D#m C# F#

Your friends they said to me

D#m C# F#

that you were talking in your sleep

D#m C# B C#

about the promises you keep

F# D#m C# F#

I know you drifted through the early years

D#m C# F#

You could fight to pass the time

D#m C# B C#

When they found you, you were dealing with it fine

B C# A#m B

Hard to tell you what it goes to

B C# A#m B

Hard-earned paper, you're holding on to

B C# A#m B

It's all honest praise for the ways you make them do

All the things you do

F# D#m C# F#

Whats up with the waves out on the coast

D#m C# F#

You say that's something I should know

D#m C# B C#

I think there's something they're not saying

F# D#m C# F#

When you survive it all the same

D#m C# F#

You're so impressed they know your name

D#m C# B C#

And you're in love with how they say it

B C# A#m B

Hard to tell you what it goes to

B C# A#m B

Hard-earned paper, you're holding on to

B C# A#m B

It's all honest praise for the ways you make them do

All the things you do

F# D#m C# F#

When they find you lying wide awake

D#m C# F#

Your friends have gone away

D#m C# B C#

I overheard you say

F# D#m C# F#

I see some waves out on the surf

D#m C# F#

They know you finally found your nerve

D#m C# B C#

And now they wait for you to say it

B C# A#m B

end on
