[Intro ](Humming) : D - D - F7 - Em - D
F7
I climbed aboard a tidal wave
Em D
Bearing down upon the city from the ocean
F7
They said it would come any day
Em D
Like a monster of perpetual devotion
F7 Em D
I was surfing it clear
F7
I was crashing through the city streets
Em D
Where we once went looking for love
D
I'd change my name if I had one to change
D
I'd change the world if I wasn't so plain
D F7 Em D
I see your eyes in my eyes suddenly
F7 Em D
F7
I was driving through the open plains
Em D
When I came upon a white horse grazing
F7
There was nothing around but him and me
Em D
And the lights up in the night sky blazing
F7 Em D
I was riding him clear
F7
We went riding through the same old streets
Em D
Where I once went looking for love
D
I'd change my name if I had one to change
D
I'd change the world if I wasn't so plain
D F7 Em D
I see your eyes in my eyes suddenly

F7
I climbed aboard a tidal wave
Em D
Bearing down upon the city from the ocean
F7
They said it would come any day
Em D
Like a monster of perpetual devotion
F7 Em D
I was surfing it clear
F7
I was crashing through the city streets
Em (LET RING)
Where we once went looking for love
