[Intro]
E
[Verse]
E
She's out of her mind
G Amaj7
Like the wind in the storm
Cm
Oh, like the ocean at dawn
Cm7 E
As it disappears, with the riptide
[Verse]
E
She's out with the tide
G Amaj7
She's pulled away by the moon
Cm
She's ripped from her sleep
Cm7 E
As the cold in the street gains control
[Chorus]
D Em
Ah, what you gonna do with your emotions?
C
Ones you barely recognize
D . Em
In your sleep I heard your screaming, ah ah
C
"This is not voluntary!
This is not voluntary!
D
If this is life I'd rather die!"
G G/F# G/F
In the riptide
[Verse]
E
She's out of her mind
G Amaj7
Ooh, baby, like muscle that swells
Cm
You know when you trip
Cm7
Whether you're well or sick
E
Your body aches
[Verse]
E
She's out with the tide
G . Amaj7
Gone to a prisoner's dance
Cm
There are monkey's who date
Cm7 . E
Eating limbs off a plate with a spoon
[Chorus]
D Em
Ah, what you gonna do with your emotions?
C
Said the seagull to the loon
D Em
What you gonna do with your emotions?
C
She said "Please wake me up"
"Oh, baby, don't ya touch me now"
She said "I wish I was dead"

A riptide, you always win

It happens over and over again
Cm7 E
Ah ah, riptide
E
She's out of her mind
G Amaj7
It's like a hurricane's rain
Cm
She doesn't stand a chance
Cm7 E
At this lunar dance, riptide
[Chorus]
D Em
I was thinking of Van Gogh's last painting
C
The wheatfields and the crow
D Em
Is that perhaps what you've
Em
You've been feeling
C
When you see the ground
As you fall in from the sky
As the floors disappears
From beneath your feet
D
Riptide, riptide

But she's going out of her mind
[Chorus]
E G
She's going out of her mind

With the riptide

Out of her mind

With the riptide
