Lyrics

In the morn ing it comes; heav en sent a (C)hur ri cane. Not a trace of the sun, but I don’t e ven (Gsus4)run from rain. Beat ing out of my chest, my heart is hold ing (Am)on to you, from the mo ment I knew, from the mo ment I knew. You’re the air in my breath, fill ing up my (Csus2)love soaked lungs. Such a beau ti ful mess, in ter twined and o ver run. Noth ing bet ter than this, know ing that the (Am7)storm can come. You (G)feel (C)just like the sun, just (Cm)like the sun. And if you say we’ll (D6)be all right, I’m gon na trust you, babe, gon na (Em)look in your eyes. And if you say we’ll (G)be all right, I’ll fol low you in to the light. Nev er mind what I knew; noth ing seems to mat ter now. Ooh, (D7)who I was with out you, I can (Gsus4)do with out. No one knows where it ends, how it may (Am7)come tum bling down. But (G)I’m here with you now. I’m (Cm)with you now. And if you the light. Let the world come rush in, come down hard, come crush ing. (C)All I need is (G)right here be side me.

And if you say we’ll (G)be all right, I’ll fol low you in to the light. Mm, the light, the light.
