1. They met in a hurricane standing in the shelter out of the rain
Am C
She tucked a note into his hand
Em D
Later on they took his car, drove on down where the beaches are
Am C
He wrote her name in the sand
G F C D D
Never even let go of her hand

Em D
2. Somehow they stayed that way, for those 5 days in May
Am C
Made all the stars around them shine
Em D
Funny how you can look in vain living on nerves and such sweet pain
Am C
The lonliness that cuts so fine
G F C D D
To find the face youve seen a thousand times

Chorus: C C
Sometimes the world begins to set you up on your feet again
Bm D
It wipes the tears from your eyes
C C
How will you ever know the way that circumstances go
Bm D
Always going to hit you by surprise
Am G/B C C Em..
I know my past you were in everything Ive done you are the one

Instrumental as Intro Em D Am C X2
 Em D
3. Looking back its hard to tell why they stood while others fell
Am C
Spend your life working it out
Em D
All I know is one cloudy day, they both just ran away
Am C
Rain on the windshield heading South
G F C D D
Oh she loved the lines around his mouth
