Palm mute the choruses. * = strum once [Intro] C F C [Verse]
                     F
We had a difficult winter
We had a rough few months
                      C
When the storms came in off the coast
It felt like they broke everything on us at once [Pre-Chorus]
       F
It's easy enough to talk about blitz spirit
When you're not holding the roof up or knee deep in it
           C
And the pictures and the papers got ruined by the rain
And we wondered if they'd ever get dry again [Chorus]
       Am                     G                 F
But I don't wanna spend the whole of my life indoors

Am            G                        F
Laying low, waiting on the next storm

   Am                     G                 F
I don't wanna spend the whole of my life inside

Am              G                      C
I wanna step out and face the sunshine
[Verse]
                       F
We lost faith in the omens
We lost faith in the Gods
                    C
We just ended up clutching at the empty rituals
Like gamblers clutching long odds [Pre-Chorus]
    F
And I don't care what the weatherman is saying
Because the last time that I saw him, he was on his knees, he was praying
    C
The preachers and the scientists got soaked just the same
And we wondered if they'd ever get dry again [Chorus]
       Am                     G                 F
But I don't wanna spend the whole of my life indoors

Am            G                        F
Laying low, waiting on the next storm

   Am                     G                 F
I don't wanna spend the whole of my life inside

Am              G                      F
I wanna step out and face the sunshine
[Bridge]
C*
  So open the shutters

Dm*
  Raise up the masts

  Am       G                      F
Rejoice! Rebuild! The storm has passed!

C
  Cast off the crutches

Dm
  Cut off the cast

  Am       G                      F
Rejoice! Rebuild! The storm has passed!

  Am       G                     F
Rejoice! Rebuild! The storm has passed!
[Chorus]
       Am                     G                 F
But I don't wanna spend the whole of my life indoors  (Rejoice! Rejoice!)

Am            G                        F
Laying low, I'm waiting on the next storm  (Rejoice! Rebuild! The storm has passed!)

   Am                     G                 F
I don't wanna spend the whole of my life inside (Rejoice! Rejoice!)

Am              G                      F
I wanna step out and face the sunshine  (Rejoice! Rebuild! The storm has passed!)
[Outro]
     Am                   G               F
I'm not gonna live the whole of my life indoors

Am*               G*                      C*
I'm gonna step out and face the next storm
