[Intro]
E B A
The same rhythm runs through the intro and verses
[Verse 1]
E B A E
Morning, it’s another pure grey morning
B A E
Don’t know what the day is holding
B A
When I get uptight
E B A E
And I walk right into the path of a lightning bolt
[Verse 2]
E B A E
Sirens of an ambulance comes howling
B A E
Right through the centre of town and
B A
No one blinks an eye
E B A E
And I look up to the sky in the path of a lighting bolt
[Verse 3]
E B A E
Met her as the angels parted for her
B A E
But she only brought me torture
B A
But that’s what happens
E B A E
When it’s you who’s standing in the path of a ligthning bolt
[Chorus]
A
Everyone I see just wants to walk with gritted teeth
E
But I just stand by and I wait my time
A
They say you gotta toe the line they want the water not the wine
E B A E
But when I see the signs I jump on that lightning bolt
[Verse 4]
E B A E
Chances, people tell you not to take chances
B A E
When they tell you there aren’t any answers
B A E
And I was starting to agree
B A E
But I awoke suddenly in the path of a lightning bolt
[Verse 5]
E B A E
Fortune, people talking all about fortune
B A E
Do you make it or does it just call you
B A
In the blinking of an eye
E B A E
Just another passer by in the path of a lightning bolt
[Chorus]
A
Everyone I see just wants to walk with gritted teeth
E
But I just stand by and I wait my time
A
They say you gotta toe the line they want the water not the wine
E B A E
But when I see the signs I jump on that lightning bolt
[Verse 6]
E B A E
It was silent, I was lying back gazing skyward
B A E
When the moment got shattered
B A
I remembered what she said
E B A E
And then she fled in the path of a lightning bolt
