[Verse 1]
GI needed someone to Amdepend upon
I was aBm7lone, I was emotEmional
SearchiBm7ng for the right emEmoticon
To expAmand my mental lexiconG  
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And GGemma told me tAmhat she met someone
It was the peBm7rson I'd been coEmunting on
It felt gBm7ood, it felt transitEmional
A feelAming I'd been waiting onG  
[Chorus]
YGou were floAmating like a lilo
With your Emeyes closed, goiAmng where the tide goes
CaugBm7ht in flux: you drCifted 'till you hDit the sidesG  
HolGd my breAmath another minute
I can keEmep my head: thAmere's nothing in it
I'm a paBm7tient waveC  
And it's an Bm7easy ridGe
[Verse 2]
I saGw myself an intAmellectual
I thoBm7ught that I was capEmable
Every Bm7move was just habiEmtual
And liAmfe was just a ritGual
[Pre-Chorus 2]
GThen Gemma tAmold me that she met somBm7ebody
Nobody else Ccould take me from mEmyself
I wasn't seaBm7rching for it anyAmmore
The feelCing I'd been waiting for
[Chorus]
YGou were floatAming like a lilo
With your eEmyes closed, goAming where the tide goes
CBm7aught in flux: you dCrifted 'till you hDit the sides
HoGld my breAmath another minute
I can keEmep my head: Amthere's nothing in it
I'Bm7m a patient waveC  
And it's an eaBm7sy rideG  
[Bridge]
FloGating like a lAmilo with you
GoiEmng where the tAmide goes
FloaGting like a lAmilo with you
GoinEmg where the tAmide goes
FloGating like aAm  
FloEmating like aAm  
FloGating like aAm  
FloEmating like aAm  
[Chorus]
YoGu were floAmating like a lilo
With your eyEmes closed, goAming where the tide goes
CauBm7ght in flux: you drCifted 'till you hDit the sides
HoGld my brAmeath another minute
I can keEmep my head: Amthere's nothing in it

[Verse 1]

G Am

I needed someone to depend upon

I was alone, I was emotional

Searching for the right emoticon

To expand my mental lexicon

[Pre-Chorus 1]

And Gemma told me that she met someone

It was the person I'd been counting on

It felt good, it felt transitional

A feeling I'd been waiting on

[Chorus]

G Am

You were floating like a lilo

Em Am

With your eyes closed, going where the tide goes

Bm7 C D G

Caught in flux: you drifted 'till you hit the sides

G Am

Hold my breath another minute

Em Am

I can keep my head: there's nothing in it

Bm7 C

I'm a patient wave

Bm7 G

And it's an easy ride

[Verse 2]

G Am

I saw myself an intellectual

I thought that I was capable

Every move was just habitual

And life was just a ritual
