Lyrics

The way you move is like a (Bb)full on rain storm and I’m a house of cards.

You’re the kind of reck less that should (Bb)send me run ning, but I kind a know that I (C)won’t get far.

And you stood there in front of me just

close e (C)nough to touch,

close e nough to hope you could n’t see what I was think ing of.

(CN.C.)Drop ev ’ry thing (Dm)now, meet me in the (Bb)pour ing rain.

(F)Kiss me on the side walk, (C)take a way the pain.

’Cause (Dm)I see (Bb)sparks fly when (F)ev er you smile.

Get me with those (Dm)green eyes, ba by, as the (Bb)lights go down.

Give me (F)some thing that ’ll haunt me when you’re not a round.

’Cause (Dm)I see (Bb)sparks fly when (F)ev er you

smile.

My mind for gets to re mind me

you’re a bad i dea.

You touch me once and it’s real ly some thing.

You find I’m e ven bet ter than you i mag ined I would be.

I’m on my guard for the (C)rest of the world, but with you, I (C)know it’s no (Dm)good.

And I could wait pa tient ly, but I real ly wish you would drop ev ’ry thing

I’ll (Dm)run my fin gers through your hair and watch the lights go wild.

Just (Dm)keep on keep ing your eyes on me.

It’s just (F)wrong e nough to make it feel (CN.C.)right.

And (Dm)lead me up the stair case, won’t you whis per soft and slow?

I’m (Dm)cap ti vat ed by you, ba by, like a (F)fire works show.

Drop ev ’ry thing (Dm)now, meet me in the (Bb)pour ing rain.

(F)Kiss me on the side walk, (C)take a way the pain.

’Cause (Dm)I see (Bb)sparks fly when (F)ev er you smile.

Get me with those (Dm)green eyes, ba by, as the (Bb)lights go down.

Give me (F)some thing that ’ll haunt me when you’re not a round.

’Cause (Dm)I see (Bb)sparks fly when (F)ev er you

smile.

And the sparks fly.

Oh, ba by, (Dm)smile.

And the sparks fly.
