Calm Before the Storm Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Sat outside my [Em]front [D]win[C]dow
This story's going somewhere
He's well hung and I am
hanging [G]up[C]
There's [G]a song [C]on the radi
[G]o that s[C]ays[G][C]
"Let's get this party started"

[Verse 2]
So let's get this party started
[G]What you do on your own[D]
time's just fine
[Em]My imagination[D]'s much worse
[G]I just n[D]ever want t[Em]o know[D]
What [G]meant the world had fol[D]ded
Like [Em]legs and fingers [D]holding
onto [G]what escapes me
What [D]he [Em]has: a better
kiss that [D]never lasts
[C]You said,

[Verse 3]
[Em]between your[D]
smiles and [C]re grets
"Don't [Em]say it's [D]over[C] "
Dead and [Em]gone, [D]dead and gon[C]e,
[D]yeah
[Em][D][G]

[Verse 4]
[C]The calm [D]before the storm [C]set
it [Em]off ([G]set it off)
And the sun burnt [D]out [G]tonight
Re[D]ception less than warm [C]set it [Em]off
[G]And [D]the [G]sun burnt [D]out [G]too

[Verse 5]
This is me [C]stand[Em]ing [C]in t[G]he
[C]arch of the [Am]door[G]
Hating that [Em]look that's
[D]on [C]your [G]face[Am]
That [G]says there's another
[Em]fool [D]like [G]me[C][G][Am]
There's [G]one born every
[Em]minute[G]
[C]There's one born every minute

[Verse 6]
[G]What you do on your own[D]
time's just fine
[Em]My imagination[D]'s much worse
[G]I just n[D]ever want to k[Em]now[D]
What [G]meant the [D]world im
[Em]ploded, inflated then de[D]moted
All my [G]oxygen to pro[D]duct gas
[Em]And suffocated my [D]last chance to s[C]ay

[Verse 7]
[Em]Between your smile[D]s and [C]regrets:
"Don't [Em]say it's [D]over[C] "
Dead and [Em]gone,
[D]dead and [C]gone [Em]whoa[D] oh oh[G]
The [D]calm before

[Verse 8]
the storm [C]set
[Em]it off [G](set it off)
And the sun burnt [D]out tonight
[G]Recep[D]tion less than warm set it [Em]off[D]
[G]And the sun burnt [D]out too

[Interlude 1]
[D][C][Em][D][C][Em]
[D][C][Em][G][D][C][Em][D][C]
[Em][D][C]

[Verse 9]
Calm [Em]before [D]the[C][Em][D]
storm (set it off, set [G]it off)

[Verse 10]
Calm before the storm set it off
And the sun burnt out [D]tonight
Reception less than [G]warm [Em]set it off
And the [G]sun burnt [D]out [G]to night,
[D]yea[Em]h[G]
[D]Sun burnt out [G]to night,
[D]the[Em] sun [G]burnt out toni[D]ght
