The Airborne Toxic Event - The Storm

intro :
C

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

your face in these pictures looks like a poem
your eyes lit up like a river stone
your body so much like a blanket thrown

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

C

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 i love

Am F C
if you’d been here this way

C

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 your here to stay

F C
the worst is gone and by god i love

Am F C
if you’d 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
let 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 i love

Am F C
if you’d been here to stay

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
