Hey guys! :) Long time no put up Chords D: I feel like I'm in a mood to put up 
chords for songs :)
This is for a song that has been STUCK IN MY HEAD LIKE ALL DAY. haha. FAAANTASTIC 
song. For some reason the Bridge was really hard for me to chord out? That's 
weird. and that part with the "Oho yeah oho"...  D:

Anywhooos, I hope you like it (feel free to comment and/or rate! and lemme know if 
there are ANY MISTAKES AND WHAT-NOT PLEASE, THANKS) and have a GREAT rest of the Spring Break! :)

P.S. I wish it was sunny today, lol. It is RAINING D:

P.P.S. I was SUPPOSED to post up "The Bird and the Worm" by Owl City like last 
month? But I never did... uh... I dunno if I will now, maybe... --> That song is 
GREAT, btw, so take a listen if you so want to! :)

HAPPY PLAYING! :)

* The asterisk --> * <-- means STRUM ONCE.

** Listen to the recording to match strumming patterns. Thanks! :)

INTRO: C F C F x2

VERSE 1:
F              C
 Stop me on the corner 
                         F
I swear you hit me like a vision
              C
I, I, I wasn't expecting
               G                                   C
But who am I to tell fate where it's supposed to go with it
                         F
Don't you blink you might miss it
                          C
See we got a right to just love it or leave it
You find it and keep it
         G
Cause it ain't every day you get the chance to say


CHORUS:
C                  F                            C
Oh, this is how it starts, lightning strikes the heart
                   G
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
C                   F                       C
Oh, we could be the stars, falling from the sky
               G  -stop-
Shining how we want, brighter than the sun

C F C F

VERSE 2:
F           C                                     F
 I've never seen it, I found this love, I'm gonna feed it
                              C                                 G
You better believe, I'm gonna treat it better than anything I've ever had
Cause you're so damn beautiful
C                                        F
Read it, it's signed and delivered let's seal it
                        C
Boy we go together like peanuts and paydays and Marley (Molly?) and reggae
    G
And everybody needs to get a chance to say


CHORUS:
C                  F                            C
Oh, this is how it starts, lightning strikes the heart
                   G
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
C                   F                       C
Oh, we could be the stars, falling from the sky
              G    -stop-
Shining how we want, brighter than the sun

C F C F

BRIDGE (Pick out Am, F, C, and G and then play the chord. Like in the recording):
Am                            F                                  C
Everything is like a white out, cause we shika-shika a shine down
                                  G                       Am
Even when the, when the light's out but I can see you glow
Am                           F                        C
Got my head up in the rafters, got me happy ever after
                         G
Never felt this way before, ain't felt this way before

Verse 3 (or 1 and a half?):
C                         F
I swear you hit me like a vision
              C
I, I, I wasn't expecting
            G          -stop-
But who am I to tell fate where it's supposed to go?


CHORUS:
C                  F

                      C

It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
C                   F                       C
Oh, we could be the stars, falling from the sky (falling from the sky)
              G   -stop-
Shining how we want, brighter than the sun,
Oh! 


CHORUS:
C                  F
Oh, this is how it starts (this is how it starts), 
                      C
lightning strikes the heart (lightin' strikes the heart)
                   G
It goes off like a gun, brighter (Ooh oh oh!) than the sun
C                   F                       C
Oh, we could be the stars, falling from the sky
              G                         -stop-
