-= VERSE I =-
Fmaj C5 Gm
lightning crashes, a new mother cries
Fmaj C5 Gm
her placenta falls to the floor
Fmaj C5 Gm
the angel opens her eyes
Fmaj
the confusion sets in
C5 Gm
before the doctor can even close the door
Fmaj C5 Gm
lightning crashes, an old mother dies
Fmaj C5 Gm
her intentions fall to the floor
Fmaj C5 Gm
the angel closes her eyes
Fmaj
the confusion that was hers
C5 Gm
belongs now, to the baby down the hall
-= CHORUS I =-
Fmaj C5 Gm Fmaj
oh now feel it comin' back again
C5 Gm Fmaj
like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
C5 Gm Fmaj
forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
C5 Gm
I can feel it
-= VERSE II =-
Fmaj C G
lightning crashes, a new mother cries
Fmaj C G
this moment she's been waiting for
Fmaj C G
the angel opens her eyes
Fmaj
pale blue colored iris
C
presents the circle
G
and puts the glory out to hide, hide
-= CHORUS II =-
Fmaj C G Fmaj
oh now feel it comin' back again
C G Fmaj
like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
C G Fmaj
forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
C G
I can feel it
Fmaj C G
I can feel it
