Five Days In May Chords

[Intro]
 
Em   D   Am   C
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Em
   They met in a hurricane
D                                     Am
Standing in the shelter out of the rain
                           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
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Em
   Somehow they stayed that way
D
  For those five days in May
Am                               C
  Made all the stars around them shine
Em
Funny how you can look in vain
D
Livin' 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
You know 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            G/B
But I know my past, you were there
   C               Cadd9              Em
In everything I've done, you are the one
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
(Em)   D    Am    C
 Em    D    Am    C    x2
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Em
   Looking back it's hard to tell
D                              Am
Why they stood while others fell
                               C
You spend your life working it out
Em
All I know is one cloudy day
D                      Am
  They both just ran away
                              C
Rain on the windshield headed south
G                 F              C        D
Oh, she loves the lines around his mouth
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C
  Sometimes the world begins
   C
To set you up on your feet again
    Bm                                D
You know 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            G/B
But I know my past, you were there
   C               Cadd9              Em
In everything I've done, you are the one
