Chorus:
           Em            F           G   Am       
(When your best friend's all strung out)
       Em              F  
You do everything you can 
               G           Am
'Cause you're never gonna let it get 'em down
          Em       F     G   Am
(When you find it all around)
    Em                 F          G                 Am
Yeah, it comes in waves but it's hardest from the start


Verse 1:
Am
Feelings sleeping in the field again
      G
I can feel, I can feel, I can feel
                   Am    Dm  Em
It's beginning to end
Am 
Premonitions smiling in the dark
      G                        
I can see, I can see, I can see
                         Dm  C/E  F 
The story's starting to arc
G
 It dries up


Pre-chorus:
Am
  I've been a spoken word
Am
  I've been a river bed
Am
  I've been a rabid force
Am
  And let it flow out from within
G                                                    Dm   C/E
 Sometimes it feels like I only dream in black and white
    F          G
And color's so oh


Chorus 2:
           Em            F           G   Am       
(When your best friend's all strung out)
       Em              F  
You do everything you can 
               G           Am
'Cause you're never gonna let it get 'em down
          Em       F     G   Am
(When you find it all around)
         Em                  F
Yeah you say it's what you need
              G                Am
And hide your eyes when you're close to me
           Em       F        G   Am
(With your feet up in the clouds)
    Em              F             G                 Am             
Well, it comes to waves but it's hardest from the start


Verse 2:
Am
Waves in theta sleeping into dreams
      G
I can feel, I can feel, I can feel
                Am   Dm  Em
The celestial beings
Am 
Wilted pleasures leave you with a breath
      G
I can see, I can see, I can see
                   Dm  C/E  F
The beauty in the mess
G
 It dries up


Pre-chorus 2:
Am
  I've been a river bed
Am 
  I tried to salt the wound
Am
  I've carried more than I can
Am
  I feel I've got a lot to prove
G                                                    Dm  C/E
 Sometimes it feels like I only dream in black and white
    F          G
And color's so oh


Chorus 3:
           Em            F           G   Am       
(When your best friend's all strung out)
       Em              F  
You do everything you can 
               G           Am
'Cause you're never gonna let it get 'em down
          Em       F     G   Am
(When you find it all around)
         Em                  F
Yeah you say it's what you need
              G                Am
And hide your eyes when you're close to me
           Em       F        G   Am
(With your feet up in the clouds)
Em             F           G              Am        
  You oughta know that I'm here no matter where you wanna go
           Em           F      G    Am
(With your head hanging upside down)
    Em              F             G                 Am             
Well, it comes to waves but it's hardest from the start


Bridge:
F  Am  G      Em                        F           
        I am here, no matter where you are
    Am      G         Em       
I'm waiting here with open arms
                     F
No matter where you are
              Am      G             Em
Sometimes you have to wait until it passes by
                      F
Like a satellite or star
   Am     G          Em
No matter where you are
