Bm - - - D/A - - - G - - - F# - - -
Verse 1 :
Bm D/A Bm D/A ( Single D and C# Note )
She sits among the pieces of broken glass and photographs
Reluctantly releases the last of what was her past
It struck without a warning or did she just ignore the signs
In those dark clouds forming behind her silver lines
Refrain :
And the door it slammed like thunder, and the tears they fell like rain
And the warnings from her family whirl like a hurricane
Oh she's drowning in emotions and she cannot reach the shore
She's alive but can she survive the Storm
Fill : Bm - - - D/A - - - Bm - - - D/A - - - Strum the last chord
Verse 2 :
A broken jewel box dancer lies in pieces down the hall
She's finding out the answers don't change nothing at all
It's time that she stopped searching for who's to blame or what went wrong
The only thing for certain is he's gone, she's got to move on
Refrain :
Then the door was slammed like thunder, and the tears they fall like rain
And the warnings from her family whirl like a hurricane
Oh she's drowning in emotions but she cannot reach the shore
She's alive but can she survive the Storm
Fill : Bm - - - D/A - - - Bm - - - D/A - - -
Bm - - - D/A - - - G - - - F# - - -
Bridge :
Someday days just roll on by without a gray cloud in the
sky, she keeps telling herself "I will make it on my own" and her
Friend's they've all gone back to their lives thinking she will be all
right as she races through the night to make it home
Refrain :
And the door it slamms like thunder, and the tears they fall like rain
And the warnings from her family whirl like a hurricane
Oh she's drowning in emotions but she cannot reach the shore
She's alive but can she survive The Storm
Fill : Bm - - - D/A - - - Bm - - - D/A - - -
Bm - - - D/A - - - G - - - F# - - -
Outro :
She sits among the pieces of broken glass and photographs
Reluctantly releases the last of what was her past
Comments : I hope that this transcription comes pretty close to the original
recording. The D/A Chord can be also played as a Bm7/A Chord on the piano.
But to make the song easier you can also go on and play a standard A Chord
instead of the D/A Chord. Doesn't sound much different, but is quite a lot
easier to play.
