E                             
 
E 
Headin' out on some uncharted path 
      A 
You soon turn back 
    B4   B        E 
It happens time and time again 
                   A             B4 B 
You never seem to reach the end 
E                               
Someone's out there on the street tonight 
       A 
When things go wrong 
        B4 B        E 
He'll guarantee to make them right 
         A             B4 B 
If the price is right 
 

A 
Every time I look you're fallin' fallin' 
E                  E7 
Beaten by the wind 
A                                     B4  B 
Every time I turn around he's there again 
 

                        E 
It's like a full force gale 
              C#m 
An American storm 
                             A 
You're buried far beneath a mountain of cold 
                   B4 B 
And you never get warm 
                     E 
It's like a wall of mirrors 
                         C#m 
You charge 'em at full speed 
                             A 
You cover up- You hear the shattering glass 
                B4 B 
But you never bleed 
                    E       A   B4 B 
You never feel the need 
 

E        A   B4 B 
 
E 
Everybody casts a certain light 
    A 
A special gift 
       B4   B         E 
It's theirs to use for wrong or right 
          A               B 
When you face the night 
E 
More and more we choose the easy way 
    A 
We take no risks 
    B4  B         E 
We figure out which games to play 
            A            B4 B 
And how to make 'em pay 
 

A 
Suddenly the pressure's fallin' fallin' 
E                          E7 
Skies have all turned grey 
A                                            B4  B 
Suddenly the storm is heading straight your way 
 

                        E 
It's like a full force gale 
                     C#m 
A top a mountain of cold 
                    A 
You tell your story again and again 
                  B4 B 
And it never gets old 
                    E 
You face a wall of mirrors 
                         C#m 
You charge 'em at full speed 
                             A 
You cover up- You hear the shattering glass 
                B4 B   
But you never bleed 
 

                       E 
You face a full force gale 
              C#m 
An American storm 
                             A 
You're buried far beneath a mountain of cold 
                   B4                   B 
And you never get warm- no, you never get warm 
                    E 
You face a wall of mirrors 
                         C#m 
You charge 'em at full speed 
                             A 
You cover up- You hear the shattering glass 
                B4 B 
But you never bleed 
                    C       Am 
You never feel the need 
                    E       A   B4 B    
You never feel the need 
       E              A   B4 B 
Never feel the need 
                E       A   B4 B 
Never feel the need 
                    E       A   B4 B    
You never feel the need 
E       A   B4        B          E 
Uuuuuh, uh, it's like a full force gale 
      A   B4  B      E 
          An american storm 
      A   B4  B      E 
          An american storm
