Em                        D
 They met in a hurricane, standing in the shelter out of the rain
Am                          C
 She tucked a note into his hand
Em                           D
 Later on they took his car, drove on down where the beaches are
Am                        C
 He wrote her name in the sand
G          F             C     D
Never even let go of her hand

Em                           D
 Somehow they stayed that way for those five days in May
Am                              C
 Made all the stars around them shine
Em                              D
Funny how you can look in vain, living on nerves and such sweet pain
Am                           C
 The loneliness that cuts so fine
   G                    F               C     D
To find the face you've seen a thousand times

C
 Sometimes the world begins to set you up on your feet again
     Bm                               D
And, oh, it wipes the tears from your eyes
C
 How will you ever know the way that circumstances go
Bm                            D
Always gonna hit you by surprise
      Am            G/B
But I know my past, you were there
   C               Cmaj7
In everything I've done, you are the one

Solo: | Em | Em | D | D | Am | Am | C | C | (4 times)

Em                              D
 Looking back it's hard to tell why they stood while others fell
Am                          C
 Spend your life working it out
Em                          D
All I know is one cloudy day they both just ran away
Am                             C
 Rain on the windshield headed south
G                 F               C     D
Oh, she loved the lines around his mouth

C
 Sometimes the world begins to set you up on your feet again
     Bm                               D
And, oh, it wipes the tears from your eyes
C
 How will you ever know the way that circumstances go
Bm                            D
Always gonna hit you by surprise
      Am            G/B
But I know my past, you were there
   C               Cmaj7
In everything I've done, you are the one

Solo: | Em | Em | D | D | Am | Am | C | C | (many times)
