B G#m F# E

[Verse 1]
         B            G#m
 We were talking on a boardwalk
             F#                       E
 We were lit up when the lights came down
       B                  G#m
 So we drifted toward the music
         F#                    E
 And you kissed me as the sound
           B                 G#m
 Of my favorite band was playing
                F#                   E
 But I couldn't hear them 'cause my heart
              B                G#m
 Was beatin' loud and out a rhythm
          F#                 E
 As you drowned out all the dark

[Chorus]
        B                 G#m
I was a boat trapped in a bottle
          F#
Dying for water
             E
You were the ocean
        B                           G#m
I was a compass that couldn't find heaven
         F#                 E
I didn't know how bad I was broken
      B                G#m
I was castaway with no land
         F#                  E
I drew a broken heart in the sand
                 B                 G#m
And you were the wave the wave the wave
     F#
That washed it all
     E               
That washed it all away

[Instrumental]
B G#m F# E

[Verse 2]
       B                  G#m
We talked for a couple of hours
           F#             E
We got salt all over our jeans
       B                G#m
And we laughed about forever
         F#                       E
What the hell did that really mean
                 B              G#m
And all of a sudden thanks to you
       F#             E
My favorite color is blue
  B               G#m
I never saw you coming
         F#                   E
Sweet salvation and I never knew

[Chorus]
        B                 G#m
I was a boat trapped in a bottle
          F#
Dying for water
             E
You were the ocean
        B                           G#m
I was a compass that couldn't find heaven
         F#                 E
I didn't know how bad I was broken
      B                G#m
I was castaway with no land
         F#                  E
I drew a broken heart in the sand
                 B                 G#m
And you were the wave the wave the wave
     F#
That washed it all
     E                 B G#m F# E B G#m F# E
That washed it all away

[Bridge]
        B                   G#m
I was a town closed for winter
           F#                         E
I was a Ferris wheel with the light burnt out
                    G#m         F#        B     E
'Til you came along,    when you came along

[Chorus]
        B                 G#m
I was a boat trapped in a bottle
          F#
Dying for water
             E
You were the ocean
        B                           G#m
I was a compass that couldn't find heaven
         F#
I didn't know how bad I was broken
     B                G#m
I was castaway with no land
         F#                  E
I drew a broken heart in the sand
  B                 G#m
And you were the wave the wave the wave
     F#
That washed it all
     E                 B G#m F#
That washed it all away
         E                 B G#m F# E
Yeah you washed it all away
             B                 G#m  F#
You were the wave the wave the wave
          E             B    G#m F# E
Yeah that washed it all away
