Full Lyrics with chord changes below
[Verse 1]
She likes pErogrammed hi-hats and Faberge eggs
She likes rEole models and men who are not
afrAaid to step up to the plate
It'll woArk, it'll work, it'll all be okay
She like Eheavy weekends and chamomile tea
She likesE me drunk but not when i'm out of contArol
And I'm lost in my head
Was it mAe, was it me, or was I just mislead?
[Pre-Chorus]
B Strap me in and send me nBowhere
I can I can change A
I can I can change A
[Chorus]
I'm just riding a wEave
I'm riding a wave
I'm riding a wave
I'm riding a wave
I'm riding a waAve
I'm riding a wave
I'm riding a wave
[Verse 2]
I'll cEommit, I'll commit, I'll commit, I'll commit
To the struggle, the struggle, the struggle
I'll commit
IAf it's not too late
I can hunt, I can gather, I can be your mate
She likes EX-videos with her best friend
She likes Eit when i'm dark but not when I'm rAeally really dark
It's okaAy, it's okay, it won't tear us apart
[Pre-Chorus]
B Strap me in and send me nBowhere
I can I can change A
I can I can change A
[Chorus]
I'm just riding a wEave
I'm riding a wave
I'm riding a wave
I'm riding a wave
I'm riding a waAve
I'm riding a wave
I'm riding a wave
I'm riding a waEve
(Up to a cloud behind a lAake)
[Bridge]

I’m running away
I’m riding a wave
I’m running away
I’m riding a wave
A}

[Chorus]
I'm just riding a wEave
I'm riding a wave

I'm riding a waEve
(Up to a cloud behind a lAake)
