[Verse 1]
N.C.
I spoke with Scott last night
      Gadd9/B            D
I was tired but I wasn't sleeping
    Gadd9/B                         Bm7
And despite what you think I wasn't drinking
           Asus4
I was just finally ready to listen
           D
And he was there alright
                Gadd9/B                   D
And though he'd probably kill me just for saying this
Gadd9/B                      Bm
Given how the both of us are athiests
        Asus4
But there it is


[Chorus]
      G
There must've been a moment
       A
Just before you hit the water
              D/F#                                  G
When you were filled with a sense of peace and understanding
         G
With the wind in your hair
        A
And the light in your eyes
         D/F#                        G
When you realised you were finally escaping
    G
But somehow in that moment
      A
You miraculously missed it
       D/F#                     G
Like a wave across a bay, never breaking
       G
That's how I like to think of you
     A
Ever falling, never landing
        D/F#                        G
Rolling slowly out to sea and always smiling
                      D
You're always smiling

[Verse 2]
           D
God damn I miss you man
            Gadd9/B                            D
It was just weeks before you left that we were speaking
       Gadd9/B                            Bm7
I just wish that you had told me you were leaving
           Asus4
Before you walked your final mile
          D
I'm not pissed off at you man
            Gadd9/B                              D
But you had something in your soul that we could recognise
        Gadd9/B                               Bm
You were one of us and you worked out how you could survive
              Asus4
At least for a while


[Chorus]
      G
There must've been a moment
       A
Just before you hit the water
              D/F#                                  G
When you were filled with a sense of peace and understanding
         G
With the wind in your hair
        A
And the light in your eyes
         D/F#                        G
When you realised you were finally escaping
    G
But somehow in that moment
      A
You miraculously missed it
       D/F#                     G
Like a wave across a bay, never breaking
       G
That's how I like to think of you
     A
Ever falling, never landing
        D/F#                        G
Rolling slowly out to sea and always smiling
                      D
You're always smiling



[Bridge]
           G                       D
You were a wave aross a bay, never breaking
           G                       Bm7*
You were a wave aross a bay, never breaking
   A
Out to the sea
                    D
Ever falling, never landing
           G                       D
You were a wave aross a bay, never breaking
           G                       Bm7*
You were a wave aross a bay, never breaking
   A
Out to the sea
                    D
Ever falling, never landing
           G                       D
You were a wave aross a bay, never breaking
           G                       Bm7*
You were a wave aross a bay, never breaking
   A
Out to the sea
               G
You're always smiling
