[Verse 1]

 Eb                  Db
Throw me all around/Like a boomerang sky
 Eb                  Db
Whatever you do/Don't tell me why
 Eb                  Db
Poppies grow tall/Then say bye bye
 Gm           F
The wave is here
 Eb                     Db
A seamless little team/And then we tanked
 Eb                  Db
I guess we're not so sacrosanct
 Eb                      Db
The tip of my tongue/But then we blanked
 Gm           F
The wave is here
  Dm              Eb        Bb
Waiting on the wind/To tell my side

Eb Db Eb Db

 Eb                  Db
Ready set jet/But she never gets far
 Eb                  Db
Listen to your skin/From the seat of my car
 Eb                    Db
Two centipedes stuck/In one glass jar
 Gm          F        
The longest wave
  Dm                  Eb   Bb
Waiting on the wind/To tell my side


[Pre-Chorus]

Cm      Bb
Whatcha want
Cm      Bb
Whatcha need
Cm      Bb
Do you love


[Chorus]

Ab                       Eb
Maybe I'm the right one/Maybe I'm the wrong
Bbm                 Fm
Just another play, the pirate, and the papillon
Ab       Eb       Bbm
Time to call it a day
Ab                         Eb
Maybe you're my last love/Maybe you're my first
Bbm                 Fm
Just another way to play inside the universe
Ab       Eb       Bb
Now I know why we came


[Verse 2]
 
  Eb                  Db
Sterile as the barrel/Of an old 12 gauge
 Eb                  Db
Under my skin/And half my age
 Eb                  Db
Hotter than the wax/On a saxifrage
Gm           F
The longest wave
Dm                   Eb    Bb
Waiting on the wind/To turn my page

Eb Db Eb Db

  Eb                  Db
Steady your sails/For the butterfly flap
  Eb                  Db
Whatever you do/Don't close that gap
  Eb                  Db
I'm dreaming of a woman/But she's just my nap
 Gm          F
Your ship is in
  Dm               Eb    Bb
Waiting on the tide so I can swim


[Pre-Chorus]

Cm      Bb
Whatcha want
Cm      Bb
Whatcha need
Cm      Bb
Do you love


[Chorus]

Ab                       Eb
Maybe I'm the right one/Maybe I'm the wrong
Bbm                     Fm
Just another play, the pirate, and the papillon
Ab       Eb       Bbm
Time to call it a day
Ab                        Eb
Maybe you're my last love/Maybe you're my first
Bbm                     Fm
Just another way to play inside the universe
Ab       Eb       Bbm   Fm Cm
Now I know why we came
Db       Fm       Eb  Db
Now I know why we came
Ab  Eb     Bb
Now I know
