Lyrics

Stopped me on the (A)cor ner.

Swear you hit me like a (D)vi sion I, I, I was n’t ex (A)pect ing, but who am I to tell fate where it’s s’pposed to go (A)with it.

Don’t you blink; you might (D)miss it.

See, we got a right to just (A)love it or leave it.

You find it and keep it ’cause (E)it ain’t ev ’ry day you get the chance to say… (A)Oh, this is how it starts.

Light ning strikes the heart; it goes off like a gun,

bright er than the sun.

(A)Oh, we could be the stars

fall in’ from the sky,

shin in’ how we want,

(CN.C.)bright er than the sun.

I’d nev er (A)seen it, but I found this love; I’m gon na (D)feed it.

You bet ter be lieve I’m gon na (A)treat it bet ter than an y thing I’ve ev er had ’cause you’re so damn beau ti ful.

(A)Read it; it’s signed and de liv ered.

Let’s (D)seal it ’cause we go to geth er like (A)pea nuts and Pay Days, Mar ley and reg gae, and (E)ev ’ry bod y needs to get a chance to say…

Ev ’ry thing is like a white out ’cause we shick a, shick a shine down, e ven when the, when the light’s out, but I can see you glow.

Got my head up in the raft ers.

Got me hap py ev er af ter.

Nev er felt this way be fore.

(CN.C.)Ain’t felt this way be fore.

Swear you hit me like a vi sion I, I, I was n’t ex pect ing,

but who am I to tell fate where it’s s’pposed to go.

(A)Oh, this is how it starts.

Light ning strikes the heart; it goes off like a gun,

bright er than the sun.

(A)Oh, we could be the stars

fall in’ from the sky,

shin in’ how we want,

(CN.C.)bright er than the sun.

(A)Oh, this is how it starts.

Light ning strikes the heart; it goes off like a gun,

bright er than the sun.

(A)Oh, we could be the stars

fall in’ from the sky,

shin in’ how we want,

(CN.C.)bright er than the sun.

(A)Bright er than the sun.

(A)Bright er than the sun.

(A)Bright er than the sun.

(A)Oh, this is how it starts.

Light ning strikes the heart;

goes off like a gun,

bright er than the sun.

(A)Oh, this is how it starts.

Light ning strikes the heart;

goes off like a gun,

bright er than the sun.

(A)Oh, this is how it starts.

Light ning strikes the heart;

goes off like a gun,

bright er than the sun.

(A)Oh, this is how it starts.

Light ning strikes the heart;

goes off like a gun,

bright er than the sun.

(A)Oh, this is how it starts.

Light ning strikes the heart;

goes off like a gun,

(CN.C.)bright er than the sun.
