Am   G   C   F

Am                G
Late last night, I heard my own heart beating
C                       F
Sounded like footsteps on my stairs
Am                  G
And I turned around to look but it was dark
C                          F
And I was lonely, I was lonely

Am                G
I was young, I was wild, I was free
C                           F
Now I’m just tired and lonely
Am                     G
I keep on waiting for the big wave
C                       F
But it never comes, it never comes

Am               G
And I want to see you, I want to see you
C                      F
I want to see you, I want to see you

Am                 G
I was caught up in the riptide
C                       F
I was caught up in the riptide
Am                 G
I was caught up in the riptide
C                       F
I was caught up in the riptide

Am                G
I was young, I was wild, I was free
C                           F
Now I’m just tired and lonely
Am                     G
I keep on waiting for the big wave
C                       F
But it never comes, it never comes
