Verse 1
She's (E major) out of her mind
Like the wind (G7) in the storm
(A minoraj7) Oh, like the ocean at dawn
As it (A minor7) disappears, with the rip (E major) tide
She's out of her mind
She's pulled away (G7) by the moon
She's (A minoraj7) ripped from her sleep
As the (C minor6) cold luna sweep gains (G major) control

Chorus 1
(D major) Oh, what you gonna do with your emo (E minor) tions
Ah, (C major) ones you barely recognize (G/B)
(D major) In your sleep I heard your scream (E minor) ing,
(C major) "This is not voluntary!
This is not voluntary!
If this is life I'd rather die!" (D major)
In the rip (G major) tide, (G/F#) (G/F) in the riptide
(G major) (G/F#) (G/F)
Verse 2
She's out of her (E major) mind, riptide
Like a mus (G7) cle that swells
You know (A minoraj7) when you trip
Whether you're (A minor7) well or sick, your body aches (E major)
She's out with the tide
Gone to (G7) a prisoner's dance
Where a (A minoraj7) monkey's her date
Eating (C minor6) limbs off a plate (G major) with a spoon
Chorus 2
(D major) Oh, what you gonna do with your (E minor) emotions
(C major) Said the seagull to the loon
(D major) What you gonna do with (E minor) your emotions
(C major) She said "Please wake me up" (G/B)
(C major) She said "Don't touch me now" (G/B)
(C major) She said "I wish I was (D major) dead"
With the rip (G major) tide (G/F#) (G/F)
(G major) (G/F#) (G/F)
Verse 3
She's out of her (E major) mind
(G7) Riptide, you always win
It happens (A minoraj7) over and over again (A minor7)
Rip (E major) tide
She's out of her mind
(G7) Like a hurricane's rain
She does (A minoraj7) not stand a chance
At (C minor6) this luna dance, rip (G major) tide
(D major) I was thinking of Van Gogh's (E minor) last painting
(C major) The wheatfields and the crows
(D major) Is that perhaps what (E minor) you've been feeling
(C major) When you see the ground
As you fall from the sky
As the floors disappears
from beneath your feet
Rip (D major) tide
Outro 1
She's going out of her mind (G major) (G/F#) (G/F)
Out with the tide (G major) (G/F#) (G/F)
Out of her mind (G major) (G/F#) (G/F)
Riptide (E major)
She's going (C major) out of her mind (C minor)
With the rip (G major) tide (E minor)
She's going (C major) out of her mind (C minor)
Ah, riptide
(G major) (G/F#)
(G/F)
(G major) (G/F#)
(G/F)
(E major) (E major) (E major) (E major)
(E major) (E major) (E major)
