E*
(Verse 1)
E B C#m
Paint a picture as we're walking on the street
A
a collage of paint, cement,
E B C#m
and steam. Just like Deja Vu, still life in a dream.
A
There you stood watching
E { B, C#m, E}
as the rain poured down on me.
e -----4-4-2-0--4-4-0-0-5-4-2h4-2h3h4------4-2-0-
E B C#m
We were once a canvas, so bright and full of color.
A
Now we've become Dorian
E B
Grey where the frame is bent and cracked.
C# G#m
I am too, in fact I've been that
A E B
way since May.
(Chorus)
E B
Let the waves crash down.
C#m A E B A
They'll swallow all of us and wash a-way,
E B C#m
these memories we tried to s-------------ave.
E* B A B C#m E
Was it enough to be brave?
e -----4-4-2-0--4-4-0-0-5-4-2h4-2h3h4------4-2-0-
E B C#m A
How did we get so damn far by ignoring everything?
E
You we're the sand beneath
B
my feet, eroded by the tide.
C#m G# A E B
It's too hard to believe.
(Chorus)
E B
Let the waves crash down.
C#m A E B A
They'll swallow all of us and wash a-way,
E B C#m
these memories we tried to s-------------ave.
E* B A B C#m E
Was it enough to be brave?
(Bridge) ***
E A C#m
All I ever wanted was a cool, dry place to rest my bones. Not to drift along
A
with this current forever, not have to sink alone.
E A C#m
All I ever wanted was a cool, dry place to rest my bones. Not to drift along

with this current forever, not have to sink alone.
