^A I met you in the middle of a ^G hurricane
Our feet were barely touching on the ^A ground
^A You taught me how to rise above the ^G unexplained
The least of which was more than ^A profound
^A I told you baby listen they can't ^G trade your place
With anybody for the one i ^A nside
^A There's something that connects us more than ^G anything
It all adds up to ^A signify
^A Life by ^G numbers you and ^A me
^A Keep your ^G thunder right where my lightning's gonna ^A be
^A I always wondered how far was i ^G nfinity
And now I see it flash through your e ^A yes
^A I heard a little voice that said w ^G e're almost free
But that should come as no big ^A surprise
^A Life by nunbers won't lie down
^A Keep your ^G thunder right but don't trade it for the easy way ^A out
^Bm Oh your name puts some ^A rhythmn to the game
^Bm Keeps on humming ^A through the house
^Bm Love when fair ^A makes it more than OK
^Bm I'd like to explain but ^C#m here comes the solo
SOLO
^A They'll ask you to play "She Thinks ^G I Still Care"
It's time to bring the singer on ^A down
They'll try to tell you to listen once you ^G been back there
You better learn to get yourself ^A out
^A Life by ^G numbers you and ^A me
^A Keep your ^G thunder right where my lightning's gonna ^A be
^A Life by ^G numbers you and ^A me
^A Keep your ^G thunder right where my lightning's gonna ^A be
