as I walked out the door

the weather on my mind

the distant thunder roared

And I knew that I was in for quite a storm

Lightning struck an oak tree
as I leapt off my bike

So I crawled into a culvert to wait it out

I couldn't make a sound

a violent carousel

Verse 7
G
That was when I saw my family
D
A
with my eyes shut real tight

Would they know how much I loved

them if this was how I died?

No, I vowed I'd not be murdered by a

monster in the sky that night

Verse 9
A
E
The shadows slowly melted
as I was hunkered down

Till at last the worst was over,

I crept out of that culvert and I
went weak in the knees

'Cause what I saw was a somber
Verse 10
E
There was nothing but destruction
and wreckage in that town
A
Cars were upside down and
F#m
houses leveled to the ground
E
A twisted trampoline was
hanging from the power lines

I blinked a tear back 'cause I
B
E
felt lucky to be alive
Verse 11
A
And that was how I learned to live when
E
B
you can run but you can't hide
A
How to feel trapped in a tunnel but
C#m
B
come out the other side
A
'Cause with all the stormy weather in the world,
B

To take life one storm at a time,
A
B
you don't have to be afraid

And now when there's bad weather on the way,
I stay calm

And I keep hanging on because it's always

darkest before the dawn
