The Airborne Toxic Event – The Storm (Guitar)

F                  C
Before it took you away

Am               F   C
I tried to think of something I could say

              F              C
I watched the shadows in the hall

          Am             F             C
How they danced with the light and the white on the walls

     C             F        C            F
Your face in these pictures looks like a poem

     C        F         C     F
Your eyes lit up like a river stone

     C       F           C       F
Your body so much like a blanket thrown

Am               C       F                      Fmaj7
On a warm bed at night, like a house in a storm

         F                      C
Then you walk right through the doorway 

    Am             F       C
You tell me you're here to stay

    F                    C
The worst is gone and by God how long

     Am         F         C
Have you been here this way

F                     C 
I surprise myself sometimes

            Am   F               C
The way the days unfold and this road unwinds

    F                  C
You tell me you see it too

        Am              F           C
And the miles seem like inches when I think of you

         C   F        C         F
Its been 25 day since I've been gone

C   F          C    F   
25 weeks since I've seen my home

        C  F      C            F
I spent 25 months chasing this song

    Am               F              Fmaj7
and all of this time I've been alone

         F                      C
Then you walk right through the doorway

    Am             F       C 
You tell me you're here to stay

    F                 C
The worst is gone and by God how long

     Am         F         C
Have you been here this way

        Am    F     C
And you knew it all along

         Am    F   C
I wasn't happy all along

         Am    F    C
And your body all I wanted

    Am    F         C
Led me to just come home

         F                      C
Then you walk right through the doorway

    Am      F              C 
You tell me you're here to stay

    F                 C
The worst is gone and by God how long

     Am         F         C
Have you been here this way

      Am         F             C
And I only just learned how to stand like a man         

         Am  F       C
I've got 25 years of running instead

Am          F       C
How could I see the ground at my feet

    Am          C             F
The truth is to me that I was caught in the storm

C
That I wasn't alone
