[Intro]

Em  D  Am  C  x2

[Verse 1]

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

[Interlude]

Em  D  Am  C

[Verse 2]

Em
Somehow they stayed that way
D
For those 5 days in May
Am                         C
Made all the stars around them shine
Em
Funny how you can look in vain

D
Living on nerves and such sweet pain
Am                       C
The loneliness that cuts so fine
G          F             C    D
To find the face you've seen a thousand times

[Chorus]

C
Sometimes the world begins
C
To set you up on your feet again
Bm                           D
It wipes the tears from your eyes
C
How will you ever know
C
The way that circumstances go
Bm                            D
Always going to hit you by surprise
  Am
I know my past
G/B
You were there
   C               Em7/C
In everything I've done

You are the one

[Instrumental]

Em  D  Am  C  x4

[Verse 3]

Em
 Looking back it's hard to tell
D
Why they stood while others fell
Am                         C
 Spend your life working it out
Em
 All I know is one cloudy day
D
 They both just ran away

Am                       C
Rain on the windshield heading south
G          F             C    D
She loved the lines around his mouth

[Chorus]

C
Sometimes the world begins
C
To set you up on your feet again
Bm                           D
It wipes the tears from your eyes
C
How will you ever know
C
The way that circumstances go
Bm                            D
Always going to hit you by surprise
  Am
I know my past
G/B
You were there
   C               Em7/C
In everything I've done
            Em
You are the one
