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