[Intro]
Em D Am C x2
[Verse 1]
Em They met in a hurricane D Standing in the shelter out of the rain Am C She tucked a note into his hand Em Later on they took his car D Drove on down where the beaches are Am C He wrote her name in the sand G F C D Never even let go of her hand
[Interlude]
Em D Am C
[Verse 2]
Em Somehow they stayed that way D For those 5 days in May Am C Made all the stars around them shine Em Funny how you can look in vain D Living on nerves and such sweet pain Am C The loneliness that cuts so fine G F C D To find the face you've seen a thousand times
[Chorus]
C Sometimes the world begins C To set you up on your feet again Bm D And oh, it wipes the tears from your eyes C How will you ever know C The way that circumstances go Bm D Always gonna hit you by surprise Am But I know my past G/B You were there C Cmaj9 In everything I've done
You are the one
[Instrumental]
Em D Am C x4
[Verse 3]
Em Looking back it's hard to tell D Why they stood while others fell Am C Spend your life working it out Em All I know is one cloudy day D They both just ran away Am C Rain on the windshield headed south G F C D Oh, she loved the lines around his mouth
[Chorus]
C Sometimes the world begins C To set you up on your feet again Bm D And oh, it wipes the tears from your eyes C How will you ever know C The way that circumstances go Bm D Always gonna hit you by surprise Am But I know my past G/B You were there C Cmaj9 In everything I've done Em You are the one
[Instrumental]
