Intro
| [Em] | [Em] | [D] | [D] |
| [Am] | [Am] | [C] | [C] |
| [Em] They met in a | hurricane |
| [D] Standing in the shelter | out of the rain |
| [Am] She tucked a | note into his | [C] hand | [C] |
| [Em] Later on they | took his car |
| [D] Drove on down where the | beaches are... |
| [Am] He wrote her | name in the | [C] sand... | [C] ... |
| [G] Never even | [F] let go of her | [C] hand | [D] | [D] |
| [Em] Somehow they | stayed that way |
| [D] For those 5 | days in May |
| [Am] Made all the | stars around them | [C] shine | [C] |
| [Em] Funny how you can | look in vain |
| [D] Living on nerves and | uch sweet pain |
| [Am] The loneli- | ness that cuts so | [C] fine | [C]
To | [G] find the face you've | [F] seen a thousand | [C] times | [D] | [D] |
Chorus
| [C] Sometimes the | world begins,
to | [C] set you up on your | feet again
And | [Bm7] oh, it wipes the | tears from your | [D] eyes | [D] |
| [C] How will you | ever know,
the | [C] way that circum- | stances go
| [Bm7] Always going to | hit you by sur- | [D] prise | [D]
But I | [Am↓] know my past | [G↓] you were there
In | [C↓] everything I've | [Em7↓] done...
You are the | [Em] one | [Em] |
| [D] | [D] | [Am] | [Am] | [C] | [C] |
| [Em] Looking back it's | hard to tell |
| [D] Why they stood while | others fell |
| [Am] ...Spend your | life working it | [C] out | [C] |
| [Em] All I know is one | cloudy day |
| [D] They both just | ran away |
| [Am] Rain on the | windshield heading | [C] south | [C] |
| [G] Oh she loved the | [F] lines around his | [C] mouth | [D] | [D] |
Chorus
| [C] Sometimes the | world begins,
to | [C] set you up on your | feet again
And | [Bm7] oh, it wipes the | tears from your | [D] eyes | [D] |
| [C] How will you | ever know,
the | [C] way that circum- | stances go |
| [Bm7] Always going to | hit you by sur- | [D] prise | [D]
But I | [Am↓] know my past | [G↓] you were there
In | [C↓] everything I've | [Em7↓] done
You are the | [Em] one | [Em] |
| [D] | [D] | [Am] | [Am] | [C] | [C] | [Em↓]
