[Verso 1]
Em
They met in a hurricane

Standing in the shelter out of the rain

She tucked a note into his hand

Later on they took his car

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
 
[Verso 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
 
[Refrão]
C
Sometimes the world begins
 
To set you up on your feet again
Bm D
It wipes the tears from your eyes
C
How will you ever know
 
The way that circumstances go
Bm D
Always going to hit you by surprise
Am
I know my past
G/B
You were there
C C/E
In everything I've done
Em
You are the one
 
Em D Am C
[Verso 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 heading South
G F C D
She loved the lines around his mouth
