[Intro]

[Verse 1]
     G6                     A
I saw whitecaps on the water today
G6                         A
 Fifteen minutes after you went away
G6                         A
 Couldn’t find a reason to make you stay
     C6
It’s windy now
         Fmaj7
But it’s gonna be okay
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
     G6                          A
I saw a black butterfly lose his wings today
G6                         A
 Singed by the candle underneath the archway
G6                          A
 Wherever they land they’ll have to stay
C6
Who can say
    Fmaj7
But what a price to pay
[Chorus]
C                            D
 Whitecaps on the water but that’s okay
C                                          D
 Ain’t never been a storm I’m running from come my way
C                                  D
 Weatherman said it would be easy, over any day
     Bb
It’s windy now
         G/F     G
               [  ]
But it’s gonna be okay
[Verse 3]
G6                          A
  For the life of me I just can’t recall
G6                   A
 It’s still a mystery that’s all
G6                  A
 Cause dark gallows lead to brighter halls
C6
 And masquerade
Fmaj7
Masquerade, that’s all
[Chorus]
C                            D
 Whitecaps on the water but that’s okay
C                                          D
 Ain’t never been a storm I’m running from come my way
C                                  D
 Weatherman said it would be easy, over any day
     Bb
It’s windy now
         G/F     G
               [  ]
But it’s gonna be okay
[Verse 4]
     G6                     A
I saw whitecaps on the water today
G6                         A         G/F
 Fifteen minutes after you went away-ay
