Verse:
DDbG Today is a winding road that's taking me to places that I didn't want to go
A Whoa - whoa, whoa, whoa -
DDbG Today in the blink of an eye I'm holding on to something and I do not know why
A I tried
Pre-Chorus:
Bm I tried to read between the lines
A I tried to look in your eyes
Gbm I want a simple explanation
D For what I'm feeling inside
G I gotta find a way out
A Maybe there's a way out
Chorus:
DA Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
G Do you know you're unlike any other?
BmA You'll always be my thunder, and I said
DA Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
G I don't wanna ever love another
BmA You'll always be my thunder
GA So bring on the rain
D And bring on the thunder
Verse - same as first -:
Today is a winding road
Tell me where to start and tell me something I don't know
Whoa - whoa, whoa, whoa -
Today I'm on my own
I can't move a muscle and I can't pick up the phone
I don't know - I don't know, I don't know, I don't know -
Pre-Chorus - same as first -:
And now I'm itching for the tall grass
And longing for the breeze
I need to step outside
Just to see if I can breathe
I gotta find a way out
Maybe theres a way out
Chorus:
DA Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
G Do you know you're unlike any other?
BmA You'll always be my thunder, and I said
DA Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
G I don't wanna ever love another
BmA You'll always be my thunder
GA So bring on the rain
Bridge:
Em Yeah I'm walking on a tightrope
Bm I'm wrapped up in vines
A I think we'll make it out
G But you just gotta give me time
D Strike me down with lightning
Bm Let me feel you in my veins
AG I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain
Bridge:
DDbG Today is a winding road that's taking me to places that I didn't want to go
A Whoa
Outro:
DA Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
G Do you know you're unlike any other?
BmA You'll always be my thunder, and I said
DDA Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
G I don't wanna ever love another
BmA You'll always be my thunder, and I said
DA Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
G Do you know you're unlike any other?
BmA You'll always be my thunder
GA So bring on the rain
GA - ring out -
Oh baby bring on the pain
D And listen to the thunder
