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
