[Intro]
G Bm D A
[Verse 1]
G Bm
There is a swelling storm
D A
And I'm caught up in the middle of it all
G Bm D
And it takes control of the person that I thought I was
A
The boy I used to know
G A Bm
But there is a light in the dark
D G
And I feel its warmth
A Bm
In my hands, in my heart
Em D A
Why can't I hold on?
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm G D
It comes and goes in waves
A Bm G D A
It always does, it always does
Bm G D
We watch as our young hearts fade
A Bm G D A
Into the flood, into the flood
[Chorus]
G A
The freedom, of falling,
Bm D A G
The feeling that I thought was set in stone
G A
Slips through my fingers
Bm D
Trying hard to let go
Em D A
It comes and goes in waves
Em D A
It comes and goes in waves
A
It carries us away
[Verse 2]
G Bm
Through the wind
D A
Down to the place we used to lay when we were kids
G Bm
Memories of a stolen place
D A
Caught in the silence, an echo lost in space
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm G D
It comes and goes in waves
A Bm G D A
It always does, it always does
Bm G D
We watch as our young hearts fade
A Bm G D A
Into the flood, into the flood
[Chorus]
G A
The freedom, of falling,
Bm D A G
The feeling that I thought was set in stone
G A
Slips through my fingers
Bm D
Trying hard to let go
Em D A
It comes and goes in waves
Em D A
It comes and goes in waves
A
It carries us away
[Bridge]
G Bm A D
I watched my wild youth disappear in front of my eyes
G Bm A
Moments of magic and wonder
A
Seems so hard to find
G Bm
Is it coming back again?
A D
Is it ever coming back again?
G Bm
Take me back to the feeling when
A
Everything was left to find
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm G D
It comes and goes in waves
A Bm G D A
It always does, it always does
[Chorus]
G A
The freedom, of falling,
Bm D A G
The feeling that I thought was set in stone
G A
Slips through my fingers
Bm D
Trying hard to let go
Em D A
It comes and goes in waves
Em D A
It comes and goes in waves
