[Intro] Gm F C/E C [Verse 1]

              Gm
What if this storm ends?

              G/F
And I don't see you

           C/E
As you are now

       C
Ever again

              Gm
The perfect halo

              G/F
Of gold hair and lightning

           C/E
Sets you off against

       C
The planet's last dance

[Verse 2]

              Gm
Just for a minute

               G/F
The silver forked sky

           C/E
Lit you up like a star

       C
That I will follow

              Gm
Now it's found us

               G/F
Like I have found you

           C/E
I don't want to run

       C
Just overwhelm me

[Verse 3]

              Gm
What if this storm ends?

              G/F
And leaves us nothing

           C/E
Except a memory

       C
A distant echo

              Gm
I want pinned down

              G/F
I want unsettled

            C/E
Rattle cage after cage

       C
Until my blood boils

[Verse 4]

              Gm
I want to see you

              G/F
As you are now

            C/E
Every single day

       C
That I am living

              Gm
Painted in flames

               G/F
All peeling thunder

           C/E
Be the lightning in me

       C
That strikes relentless
