The Storm Cifra

Capo on 1st fret
 
[Intro]
C
 
[Verse 1]
F                  C
Before it took you away
Am               F   C
I tried to think of something I could say
              F              C
I watched the shadows in the hall
          Am             F             C
How they danced with the light and the white on the walls
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
     C             F        C            F
Your face in these pictures looks like a poem
     C        F         C     F
Your eyes lit up like a river stone
     C       F           C       F
Your body so much like a blanket thrown
Am               C       F                      Fmaj7
On a warm bed at night, like a house in a storm
 
[Instrumental]
C
 
[Chorus]
         F                      C
Then you walk right through the doorway 
    Am             F       C
You tell me you're here to stay
    F                    C
The worst is gone and by God how long
     Am         F         C
Have you been here this way
 
[Instrumental]
C
 
[Verse 2]
F                     C
I surprise myself sometimes
            Am   F               C
The way the days unfold and this road unwinds
    F                  C
You tell me you see it too
        Am              F           C
And the miles seem like inches when I think of you
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
         C   F        C         F
Its been 25 day since I've been gone
C   F          C    F
25 weeks since I've seen my home
        C  F      C            F
I spent 25 months chasing this song
    Am               F              Fmaj7
and all of this time I've been alone
 
[Instrumental]
C
 
[Chorus]
         F                      C
Then you walk right through the doorway
    Am             F       C
You tell me you're here to stay
    F                 C
The worst is gone and by God how long
     Am         F         C
Have you been here this way
 
[Instrumental]
C
 
[Middle 8]
        Am    F     C
And you knew it all along
         Am    F   C
I wasn't happy all along
         Am    F    C
And your body all I wanted
    Am    F         C
Led me to just come home
 
[Instrumental]
C
 
[Chorus]
         F                      C
Then you walk right through the doorway
    Am      F              C
You tell me you're here to stay
    F                 C
The worst is gone and by God how long
     Am         F         C
Have you been here this way
 
[Outro]
      Am         F             C
And I only just learned how to stand like a man         
         Am  F       C
I've got 25 years of running instead
Am          F       C
How could I see the ground at my feet
    Am          C             F
The truth is to me that I was caught in the storm
C
That I wasn't alone
