F#m              G
Trying hard to speak and
Bm                A6
Fighting with my weak hand
F#m            G
Driven to distraction
     Bm               A6
It's all part of the plan
F#m                 G
When something is broken
Bm             A6
And you try to fix it
F#m          G
Trying to repair it
E            G E G
Any way you can

I dive in at the deep end
You become my best friend
I wanna love you
But I don't know if I can
I know something is broken
And I'm trying to fix it
Trying to repair it
Anyway I can

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Chorus:
D                C                  E
You and me are floating on a tidal wave...
        D
Together
D                C                   E
You and me are drifting into outer space...
And singing

G                  E/G#
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Chorus:
You and me are floating on a tidal wave
Together
You and me are drifting into outer space
You and me are floating on a tidal wave
Together
You and me are drifting into outer space
And singing

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
