Band: The Wave Pictures


Standard tuning


Verse 1:

            F                 Bb               C
There were roman candles and Catherine wheels outside
F                 Bb     C
Inside, all was deadly quiet
 F           Bb       C       F             C   Bb
Corner cut, medium weight and I arrive late
 F                                    Bb                 C
I caught you spelling baby names with sparklers on your patio
     F   Bb      C        F                            Bb    C
And you didn’t know, that I’d been writing letters to other girls
    F                Bb     C
In shaky, shaky handwriting



Bridge 1:

    Dm
We swooned like 50’s housewives
                Bb
Buzzing like a hive
 Dm                             Bb    C
  The room is spinning faster than a 45


Chorus 1:

    F               Bb   C
And we come alive
F              Bb    C
We come alive
F  Bb   C   F   Bb  C
We come alive


Bass Solo(same F Bb C chords)


Verse 2:

     F                       Bb         C  
Well you were an octopus and I was an orang-utan
     F                         Bb           C
And everybody in there saw the way that we carried on
      F                             Bb     C                 F  Bb C
But everyone who knows me, knows I make up all these stories


Bridge 2:

    Dm
We swooned like 50’s housewives
                Bb
Buzzing like a hive
 Dm                             Bb    C
  The room is spinning faster than a 45

And we come alive
F              Bb    C
We come alive
F  Bb   C   F   Bb  C
We come alive
F               Bb   C
we come alive
F              Bb    C
We come alive
F  Bb   C   F   Bb  C
We come alive
