Walking 'round barefoot lost
E5                                      
Pretty soon these clouds have got to clear
G5              D5        
I know it's a lot
G5                   D5       
Arousing thunder I only ask it to stop
G5               D5        
For a second so I could coax you to talk
  

  (There could be a very quick G5 in here, Im not sure)

You were the girl in the entryway, thats all that I knew but

You were still in school and I was insecure

You know sometimes when I hold you in silence I listen real close
