A                       F#m
Beneath the dance hall lights,
                    D
You seem a girl so sound,
C#m
Lights up the ground.
A                  F#m
If you give up New York,
                     D
I'll give you Tennessee,
   C#m
The only place to be.

A                     F#m
The cowboy's burning eyes,
                         D
Don't like the sight of me,
       C#m
Just straight enough to breathe.
A                    F#m
I like your point of view,
                   D
So don't you shy away,
C#m           A
Ride out the wave.
F#m           D
Ride out the wave.
C#m           A
Ride out the wave.
F#m           D  C#m
Ride out the wave.

Ride out the wave
Ride out the wave

You had me holding of
All the time and place
Ride out the wave
Bury yourself away
The one and only face
Ride out the wave
Ride out the wave
Ride out the wave
