Lightning Bolt Lyrics

Play the chords as open chords - apart from the B. This should really be B5, but
power chords don't sound great on acoustic guitars.
Strumming pattern goes 2 beats and a pause on the E, then 2 beats on both A & B.
On the bridge "Everyone...", just use a racing down strum.
Intro: E B A x4
Morning, it's another pure & grey morning
Don't know what the day is holding
When I get uptight
And I walk right into the path of a lightning bolt
Link: (E)B A x2
Sirens, of an ambulance comes howling
Right through the centre of town and
No one blinks an eye
And I look up to the sky in the path of a lighting bolt
Link: (E)B A x2
Met her, as the angels parted for her
But she only brought me torture
But that's what happens
When it's you who's standing in the path of a lightning bolt
Link: E A B E E E
Everyone I see just wants to walk with gritted teeth
But I just stand by and I wait my time
They say you gotta toe the line they want the water not the wine
But when I see the signs I jump on that lightning bolt
Chances, people tell you not to take chances
When they tell you there aren't any answers
And I was starting to agree
But I woke up suddenly in the path of a lightning bolt
Link: (E)A B x2
Fortune, people talking all about fortune
Do you make it or does it just call you
In the blinking of an eye
Just another passer by in the path of a lightning bolt
Link: E A B E E E
Everyone I see just wants to walk with gritted teeth
But I just stand by and I wait my time
They say you gotta toe the line they want the water not the wine
But when I see the signs I jump on that lightning bolt
It was silent, I was lying back gazing skyward
When the moment got shattered
I remembered what she said
And then she fled in the path of a lightning bolt
Outro: E B A x3 E
