5 Days In May Chords

[Notes]
Use an alternating bass/strum pattern, except for last four lines of
chorus (from "I know my past...") where the chords are finger-plucked
on strings 2 through 5 only.  Those chords are:
 
         Am      x0221x
         G/B     x2000x
         C       x3201x
         Cmaj9   x3243x
 
 
[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
And oh, it wipes the tears from your eyes
C
  How will you ever know
    C
The way that circumstances go
Bm                         D
Always gonna hit you by surprise
      Am
But I know my past
G/B
You were there
   C               Cmaj9
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 headed south
G                 F               C      D
Oh, she loved the lines around his mouth
 
[Chorus]
C
  Sometimes the world begins
   C
To set you up on your feet again
    Bm                               D
And oh, it wipes the tears from your eyes
C
  How will you ever know
    C
The way that circumstances go
Bm                         D
Always gonna hit you by surprise
      Am
But I know my past
G/B
You were there
   C               Cmaj9
In everything I've done
            Em
You are the one
