The Storm
The C and F chords are played slightly non-standard for ease of movement.
I highly recommend watching the youtube video of them playing the
acoustic version live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4FuSixYHKQ.
This is great for getting the timing and strum pattern figured out.
Also Mikel doesn't use a pick through "like a house in a storm", which
adds a lot to the piece. The chords:
C (x32010@1) F (133211@1) Ame|------0------0------0------| (x02210@1)B|------1------1------1------|
G|------0------2------3------|
D|------2------4------2------|
A|------4------3------0------|
E|------3------x------x------|
The "~C" represent the dramatic break in strumming of the
previous chord before beginning the C chord.
Intro:
C (x32010@1)F (133211@1) CBefore (x32010@1)it took you away,
Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) CI (x32010@1)tried to think of something I could say.
F (133211@1) CI (x32010@1)watched the shadows in the hall.
Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) CHow (x32010@1)they danced with the light and the white on the walls.
C (x32010@1) F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) FYour (133211@1)face in these pictures looks like a poem.
C (x32010@1) F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) FYour (133211@1)eyes lit up like a river stone.
C (x32010@1) F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) FYour (133211@1)body so much like a blanket thrown,
Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1) F (133211@1)
On a warm bed at night, like a house in a storm.
~ C (x32010@1)
F (133211@1) CAnd (x32010@1)then you walk right through the doorway.
Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) CYou (x32010@1)tell me you're here to stay.
F (133211@1) CThe (x32010@1)worst is gone and my God how long,
Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) CHave (x32010@1)you been here this way?
F (133211@1) C (x32010@1)And I surprise myself sometimes,
Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) CThe (x32010@1)way the days unfold and this road unwinds.
F (133211@1) CYou (x32010@1)tell me you see it too,
Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) CAnd (x32010@1)the miles seem like inches when I think of you.
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) CIts (x32010@1)been 25 days since I've been gone.
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) C (x32010@1)
25 weeks since I've seen my home.
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) CI (x32010@1)spent 25 months chasing this song,
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1)and all of this time I've been alone.
~ C (x32010@1)
F (133211@1) CAnd (x32010@1)then you walk right through the doorway.
Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) C (x32010@1)You tell me you're here to stay.
F (133211@1) CThe (x32010@1)worst is gone and my God how long
Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) CHave (x32010@1)you been here this way?
Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) CAnd (x32010@1)you knew it all along.
Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) CI (x32010@1)wasn't happy all along,
Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) Cand (x32010@1)your body all I wanted
Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) C (x32010@1)
led me to just come home.
~ C (x32010@1) F (133211@1) CAnd (x32010@1)then you walk right through the doorway.
Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) C (x32010@1)You tell me you're here to stay.
F (133211@1) CThe (x32010@1)worst is gone and my God how long,
Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) CHave (x32010@1)you been here this way?
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) CAnd (x32010@1)I only just learned how to stand like a man,
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) CI've (x32010@1)got 25 years I've been running instead.
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) CHow (x32010@1)could I see the ground at my feet
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) FFrom (133211@1)what you gave to me when I was caught in the storm
End on CThat (x32010@1)I wasn't alone
