[Verse]
Em
They met in a hurricane
D
Standing in the shelter, out of the rain
Am7                C/B     C    C/G
She tucked a note into his hand
Em
Later on, they took his car
D
Drove on down where the beaches are
Am7                  C/B  C   C/G
He wrote her name in the sand
G          F/C            C   Dadd4add9
Never even let go of her hand

Somehow they stayed that way
D
For those five days in May
Am7                       C/B  C     C/G
Made all the stars around them shine
Em
Funny how you can look in vain
D
Living on nerves and such sweet pain
Am7                  C/B C   C/G
Loneliness that cuts so fine
G                    F/C               C    Dadd4add9
Find the face you've seen a thousand times

[Verse]
Em
Looking back, it's hard to tell
D
Why they stood while others fell
Am7                C/B      C   C/G
Spend your life workin' it out
Em
All I know is one, cloudy day
D
They both just ran away
Am7                     C/B    C    C/G
Rain on the windshield headed south
