intro   E5

                         E5
verse   You search your mind

        That's what it's there for
                        A5
        Check all the whys'
                      E5
        And all the wherefores'

        In your mind

        You're tall and brave
         B5
        Riding the crest
              A5                  E5
        Of a high and beautiful wave

       E5
chorus  You make your movements known
              D5                A5
        And where you want to be
       E5
        And everybody knows
                D5               A5
        That's how it's got to be
       E5         D5        A5       E5
        In the sheltered morning sun
                 D5        A5       E5
        In the sheltered morning sun

                 E5
verse   Internally

        You make your own rules
                       A5
        You'll have excuses
                       E5
        The ones that you choose

        In the end

        You deem unsafe;
         B5
        Riding the crest
              A5                  E5
        Of a high and beautiful wave


chorus  You make your movements known...

                       E5  A5
inter   There comes a time
             D5                      G5
        You don't even know what's missing
              C5                 D5          E5
        Some sugar to make the pill go down
                    E5  A5
        You need a line
           D5                   G5
        A push in the right direction
             C5                    D5          E5
        The sugar that makes the pill go down

          E5
verse   True

        True to form
                  A5           E5
        True to pre-existing norms

        Truly wasted

        At a rave
         B5
        Riding the crest
              A5                  E5
        Of a high and beautiful wave
         B5
        Riding the crest
              A5                  E5
        Of a high and beautiful wave
