E Today is a winding road Abm7 that's taking me places AB that I didn't want to go, whoa
E Today in the blink of an eye Abm7 I'm holding on to something AB and I do not know why, I tried
Prechorus (Play and sing quietly)
Dbm I tried to read between the lines
I tried to look in your eyes Abm7 I want a simple explanation
for what I'm feeling inside A I gotta find a way out B (Let this ring out) Maybe there's a way out
Chorus (louder)
EB Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer A Do you know you're unlike any other? DbmB REST You'll always be my thunder, and I said EB Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors A I don't wanna ever love another DbmB You'll always be my thunder AB So bring on the rain E (continue strumming this chord into the next verse) And bring on the thunder
Verse E Today is a winding road Abm7 tell me where to start AB and tell me something I don't know, whoa E Today I'm on my own Abm7 I can't move a muscle AB and I can't pick up the phone, I don't know
Prechorus
Dbm And now I'm itching for the tall grass
And longing for the breeze Abm7 I need to step outside
Just to see if I can breathe A I gotta find a way out B Maybe theres a way out
Chorus (louder)
EB Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer A Do you know you're unlike any other? DbmB REST You'll always be my thunder, and I said EB Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors A I don't wanna ever love another DbmB You'll always be my thunder AB So bring on the rain E (let ring out) And bring on the thunder
Bridge
F Yeah I'm walking on a tightrope Dbm I'm wrapped up in vines A I think we'll make it out B But you just gotta give me time F Strike me down with lightning Dbm Let me feel you in my veins BA I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain
Verse E Today is a winding road Abm7 that's taking me to places AB REST that I didn't want to go, whoa
Chorus (louder)
EB Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer A Do you know you're unlike any other? DbmB REST You'll always be my thunder, and I said EB Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors A I don't wanna ever love another DbmB You'll always be my thunder AB So bring on the rain E and bring on the thunder and I said
EB Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer A Do you know you're unlike any other? DbmB REST You'll always be my thunder, and I said EB Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors A I don't wanna ever love another DbmB You'll always be my thunder AB So bring on the rain AB oh baby bring on the pain E (let ring out) and listen to the thunder
