[Verse 1]
What if this storm [Em]ends?
And I don't see you
As [C#dim]you are now
Ever [A]again

[Verse 2]
The perfect [Em]halo
Of gold hair and [G]lightning
[Em]Sets you o[C#dim]ff against
The planet's [A]last dance

[Verse 3]
Just for [Em]a minute
The silver forked [G]sky[Em]
Lit you [C#dim]up like a star
That I will fol[A]low

[Verse 4]
Now it's found [Em]us
Like I have found [G]you[Em]
I don't [C#dim]want to run
Just overwhelm [A]me

[Interlude 1]
[Em][D][C#dim][A]
[Em][D][Em][C#dim][A][Asus4]
What if [A]this storm

[Verse 5]
[Em]ends?
And leaves us noth[D]ing
Except a [A]memory[C#dim]
A distant [A]echo

[Verse 6]
I want pinned [Em]down
I want un[D]settled
Rattle [A]cage after [C#dim]cage[A]
Until my blood boils

[Verse 7]
I want to see [Em]you
As you are [D]now
[A]Every sin[C#dim]gle day
That I am liv[A]ing

[Verse 8]
Painted in [Em]flames
All peeling thun[D]der
Be the [A]lightning in [C#dim]me
That strikes relent[A]less[Asus4][A][Em]
[D][F#][G][C#dim][A][Em]

[Verse 9]
[D]
[G]What if this[A][C#dim][A][Em][D][A][C#dim]
[A]sto[Em]rm en[D]ds[A]?[Em]
And I don't see [D]you[Dsus4][D]
As [A]you are [C#dim]now
Ever [A]again
[Asus4]The perfect halo[A]

[Verse 10]
[Em]
Of gold hair and light[D]ning[Dsus4]
[D]Sets [C#dim]you off against
The planet's last [A]dance[Asus4]
Just for [A]a minute

[Verse 11]
[Em]
The silver forked [D]sky
[Em]Lit [D]you up l[C#dim]ike a star
That I will fol[A]low[Asus4]
[A]Now it's found

[Em]us
Like I [D]have found [Dsus4]you

[Verse 13]
From here the [F#]caravans are kids toys
And I can hold them all in my palm
I watch the sea creep round
the corner
It connects the dots from here
[C#]to y[F#]ou
The sunlight burning through
the [C#]loose [F#]flags
Painted high on white church walls
I chase my blood from brain
to thumped heart
Until I'm out of breath for trying

[Verse 14]
[F#]Worry not [D#m]everything [F#]is sound
This is [D#m]the safest [F#]place you've found
The only [D#m]noise beat[F#]ing out is ours
Lacing [D#m]our tea fr[F#]om honey jars

[Interlude 3]
[F#]

[Verse 15]
These acci[C#]dent[F#] s of
faith and [C#]nature[F#]
They tend to [C#]stick [F#]in
the spokes [C#]of yo[F#]u[C#][F#]
But every [C#]now [F#]and then
[C#]the [F#]trend bucks[C#][F#]
And you're repaired by
[C#]more [F#]than glue
[C#][F#]

[Verse 16]
[F#]Worry not everything is sound
This is [D#m]the sa[F#]fest place you've found
The only noise beating [C#]out i[F#]s ours
Lacing our tea from [C#]hon [F#]ey jars

[Verse 17]
[F#]Why don't you rest your fragile bones
A minute ago you [C#]looked [F#]alone
Stop waving your arms you're
[C#]safe [F#]and dry

[Interlude 4]
Breathe in and drink up the winter sky

[Verse 18]
[B]Slowly the day breaks apart
[E]in [B]our han[E]ds[B]
And soft hallelujahs flow [E]in
[B]from the chu[E]rch[B]
The one on the corner you [E]said
[B]fri[E]ghtene d [B]you[E]
It [B]was too dark and too large to
find [E]your [B]soul in

[Verse 19]
[E]
Something [B]was bound to go
right sometime today
All these broken pieces fit [E]together
To make a perfect picture of us
It got [B]cold and then dark
so suddenly and rained
It rained so hard the two of us
were the [E]only thing
That we could see for miles and miles

[Verse 20]
And in the [B]middle of the
flood I felt my worth
When you held onto me like I
was your little [E]life raft
Please know that you were mine as well
Drops of [B]water hit the ground like
God's own tears
And spread out into shapes
like salad bowls
And [E]basins and buckets
for bailing out the flood

[Verse 21]
As [B]motionless cars rust on
[E]driveways and curbs
You [B]take off your raincoat and
[E]stretch out your arms
[B]We both laugh out loud
and [E]surrender to it
The [B]sheer force of sky and the
[E]cold magnet earth

[Verse 22]
[E]
Something was [B]bound to go
right sometime today
All these broken pieces fit togeth[E]er
To make a perfect picture of us
It got [B]cold and then dark
so suddenly and rained
It rained so hard the two of us
were the [E]only thing
That we could see for miles and miles
And [B]in the

[Verse 23]
middle of the
flood I felt my worth
When you held onto me like I
was your little [E]life raft
Please know that you were mine as well
Drops of [B]water hit the ground like
God's own tears
And spread out into shapes
like salad bowls
And basin[E]s and buckets for bailing out the
