But in the morning when I paddle out it's true:
C7M Am
no one else is there.
F G
The white water is massive, it's much like a brick wall,
C7M Am
the waves are giant monsters they lift me and I fall.
F G
My board behind me on a leash it's spinning me around,
C7M Am
I can't get to out breath, [?] I'm not a waterboard.

And I watched them other people riding on the wave
F* G* C*
and then go to sleep and tomorrow try again.
