[Verse 1]
               D                   G
When you are a wave, a wave on the sea
             D                      G
You love the wind, the gale and the breeze
E            G                       D
You rock the boats and the seabirds afloat
                A
That you roll beneath
 
               D                    G
You mirror the sky and catch the sunlight
               Bm                    G
You take a moonbeam and make it look like
  E            G                    A
A glittering diamond, a quivering flame
               D    G  D
When you are a wave
 
 
[Chorus]
               G                   Bm
When you are a wave, a wave on the sea
               E7                  G   A
When you are a wave, a wave on the sea
 
 
[Verse 2]
N.C.             D                       G
You fall and you rise, you crest and you curl
                  D                    G
You drift and you glide on through the world
            E           G                    D
Through the shallow and deep, the bitter and sweet
           A
Passing of time
 
               D                    G
On through the world, or is it more true
               Bm                      G
That the whole world is moving through you
            E            G                    A
Because the water you’re made of is never the same
               D   G  D
When you are a wave
 
 
[Chorus]
               G                   Bm
When you are a wave, a wave on the sea
               E7                  G   A
When you are a wave, a wave on the sea

[Chorus]

When you are a wave, a wave on the sea
               E7                  G   A
When you are a wave, a wave on the sea
 
 
[Verse 3]
N.C.         D  N.C.            G N.C.
And when you see the shoreline ahead
            D  N.C.                       E N.C.
You may be afraid that you’ve reached the end
               G N.C.         D N.C.
The end of the fine, glorious ride
                  A
On which you have been
 
               D                    G
Because with a wave, that’s how it goes
              Bm                  E
You may not remember, or not even know
                  G                 A
You’re not just a wave, you are the whole
      Bm    E
Ocean   wide
 
 
[Outro]
                  G                 A
You’re not just a wave, you are the whole
      D      G
Ocean    wide
