  A#                 F           A             Dm
I want what I can't have, still holding on to hope
A#              F           A               Dm
Drowning in my tears, this love's a sinking boat
A#  F         A               Dm
Oh, oh, this love's a sinking boat
A#  F   A
Oh, oh (No)

        Dm                      A#
Once my hands have reached the shore
                 F  A
You pull me back in
       Dm                A# F
And I shouldn't beg for more
                       A
But I don't want it to end

Chorus:
                    Dm    A#     F     A
Just take me like a wave (Wave, wave, wave)
                   Dm        A#     F     A
Oh, take me like a wave, oh (Wave, wave, wave)
               Dm                      A#
Take me like a wave, pull me back and forth
              F                  A
Crash into my arms, tell me I am yours
               Dm            A#     F     A
Take me like a wave, oh, ah (Wave, wave, wave)

Head at the surface, I'll keep you afloat
I'll keep you safe, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Right in the middle of Heaven and Hell
This world was made for us (Yeah)
Don't blame you at all (Yeah)
It was all my fault (Yeah)
I swear that I won't do the shit that I did before

Was scared to walk away (Yeah)
But I need you back with me (Hey)
And I think it's all the same for you, yeah
I just wanna kiss your neck
'Cause I miss the way you're dancing on me, yeah
Let me pull you back in (Yeah)

Once my hands have reached the shore
You pull me back in
And I shouldn't beg for more
But I don't want it to end

Chorus:
Just take me like a wave (Wave, wave, wave)
Oh, take me like a wave, oh (Wave, wave, wave)
Take me like a wave, pull me back and forth
Crash into my arms, tell me I am yours
Take me like wave, oh, ah (Wave, wave, wave)
