Intro: Em D Am C
Verse:
Em
They met in a hurricane
D
Standing in the shelter out of the rain
Am C
She tucked a note into his hand
Em
Later on they took his car
D
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
Somehow they stayed that way
D
For those 5 days in May
Am C
Made all the stars around them shine
Em
Funny how you can look in vain
D
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
Chorus:
C
Sometimes the world begins
C
To set you up on your feet again
Bm D
It wipes the tears from your eyes
C
How will you ever know
C
The way that circumstances go
Bm D
Always going to hit you by surprise
Am
I know my past
G/B
You were there
C Em7/C
In everything I’ve done
Em
You are the one
Verse:
Looking back it’s hard to tell
Why they stood while others fell
Spend your life working it out
All I know is one cloudy day
They both just ran away
Rain on the windshield heading South
She loved the lines around his mouth
Chorus:
C
Sometimes the world begins
C
To set you up on your feet again
Bm D
It wipes the tears from your eyes
C
How will you ever know
