[Verse]

N.C.                   C
There's a storm on the rise
        G                        
All the push and the pull of 
    Bb
the summit is fading
F               C
Here I am in disguise
G                          
Bruised to compare all 
    Bb             F
the worries and waiting
N.C.             C
Try not to think twice
    G                        
The sun in my eyes leaves 
   Bb
me blind to the shaking
F                     C
Leave me here on this side
        G
Of this east coast highway
    Bb                      F
And I'll find my way to New York
 
 
[Chorus]
              Bb            
Get me on the waves 
        F          C
sail me right back home
              Bb           
Get me on the waves 
        F          C
sail me right back home
              Bb            
Get me on the waves 
        F          C
sail me right back home
              Bb            
Get me on the waves 
        F          C
sail me right back home
 
 
[Verse]

C
There's a course in the tides
G                       
Begging for grace in 
   Bb
Virginia's arms tonight
F                   C
Leading me like I'm blind
G                      
Blue and despaired 
    Bb             F
I'm missing her skies
             C
Tied up in a fight
G                  
Fixing to clear 
   Bb
my heart for the taking
F               C
Send me left to right
        G
On this eastern bypass
    Bb                      F
And I'll find my way to New York
 
 
[Chorus]

              Bb           
Get me on the waves 
        F          C
sail me right back home
              Bb           
Get me on the waves 
        F          C
sail me right back home
              Bb            
Get me on the waves 
        F          C
sail me right back home
              Bb           
Get me on the waves 
        F          Bb  F  C
sail me right back home

[Bridge]

C
There's a girl in New York
G                 Bb
Waiting for me to find 

what I'm chasing
F                    C
Left her bags at the door
C
It's a no through road
         F
But I'll find my way back north
 
 
[Chorus]
              Bb            
Get me on the waves 
        F          C
sail me right back home
              Bb            
Get me on the waves 
        F          C
sail me right back home
              Bb            
Get me on the waves 
        F          C
sail me right back home
              Bb            
Get me on the waves 
        F          C
sail me right back home
