The Next Storm

	  		INTRO C F C 

verse 1 

F 
We had a difficult winter 
We had rough few months 
C 
When the storms came in off the coast 
It felt like they broke everything on us at once 

F 
It's easy enough to talk about blissed spirit 
When you're not holding the roof up and knee deep in it 
C 
And the pictures and the papers got ruined by the rain 
And we wondered if they'd ever get dry again 


Am G F 
But I don't want spend the whole of my life indoors 
Laying low, waiting on the next storm 
But I don't want spend the whole of my life inside 
Am G C 
I wanna step out, and face the sunshine 


SOLO 
C 

verse 2 
F 
We lost faith in the omens 
We lost faith in the gods 
C 
We just ended clutching at these empty rituals 
Like gamblers clutching long odds 

F 
I don't care what the weatherman is saying 
Because the last time that I saw him he was on his needs knees, he was praying 
C 
And the preachers and the scientists got soaked just the same 
And they wondered if they'd ever get dry again 


Am G F 
But I don't want spend the whole of my life indoors 
Laying low, waiting on the next storm 
But I don't want spend the whole of my life inside 
I wanna step out, and face the sunshine 


BRIDGE 

C Dm* 
So open the shutters, raise up the mast 
Am G F 
Rejoice, rebuild, the storm has passed 
C Dm 
Cast off the crutches, cut off the cast 
Am G F 
Rejoice, rebuild, the storm has passed (x2) 


Am G F 
But I don't want spend the whole of my life indoors 
Laying low, waiting on the next storm 
But I don't want spend the whole of my life inside 
I wanna step out, and face the sunshine 


OUTRO 

Am G F 
I'm not gonna live the whole of my life indoors 
I'm gonna step out, and face the next storm
