[Verse]
D Today is a winding road AGA Thats taking me to places that I didnt want to go, whoa D Today in the blink of an eye AGA Im holding on to something and I do not know why I tried
[Refrain]
Bm I tried to read between the lines, I tried to look in your eyes D I want a simple explanation; what Im feeling inside GA 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 youre unlike any other? BmA Youll always be my thunder, and I said DA Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors G I dont wanna ever love another BmAGA Youll always be my thunder, so bring on the rain (D) And bring on the thunder
[Post Chorus 1] GA So bring on the rain D And bring on the thunder
[Verse]
D Today is a winding road AGA Tell me where to start and tell me something I dont know, whoa D Today Im on my own AGA I cant move a muscle and I cant pick up the phone, I dont know
[Refrain]
Bm And now I'm itching for the tall grass and longing for the breeze D I need to step outside, just to see if I can breathe GA 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 youre unlike any other? BmA Youll always be my thunder, and I said DA Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors G I dont wanna ever love another BmAGA Youll always be my thunder, so bring on the rain D And bring on the thunder
[Post Chorus 1] GA So bring on the rain D And bring on the thunder
[Bridge]
BmA Yeah Im walking on a tightrope, I'm wrapped up in vines GA I think Ill make it out but you just gotta give me time Bm Strike me down with lightning, let me feel you in my veins AG I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain
[Verse]
D Today is a winding road AGA Thats taking me to places that I didnt want to go, whoa
[Chorus]
DA Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer G Do you know youre unlike any other? BmA Youll always be my thunder, and I said DA Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors G I dont wanna ever love another BmA Youll always be my thunder, and I said
DA Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer G Do you know youre unlike any other? BmAGA Youll always be my thunder, so bring on the rain GAD Oh baby bring on the pain and listen to the thunder
