VERSE:

Em                Am
Cool as the water melting from the winter snows
Em          G               Am
You are the island Ive been looking for
Em
I dont know where you come from
Am
But I can feel you comin on
Em                      G
Youre a storm inside my soul
            Am
Thats ragin out of control

PRE-CHORUS:

G
Call the wind out
Am
Call out the thunder
   G                                Am
Oh lightning, only you can will the weather
       C
I said come on
        D
Wont ya come on? 

CHORUS:

Em        G     Am
Lightning youre mine
C        D Em
Tonight, tonight
Em            G           Am
You caught me while I was sleepin
C             D     Em
Restin from a heavy run
Em                G       Am
I saw you in your evening gown
C                    D   Em
You were lighting up the sky
Em               G      Am
No matter what tomorrow brings
C               D    Em
Lightning, your mine tonight
C                    D      Em
Woah, lightning your mine tonight

VERSE:

Em
Crack the horizon
     Am
Only you can split the night
Em              G               Am
Then comes your mother cloud to take you away
Em
Another wind will dry me
        Am
And the sun will make me warm
       Em              G
But to me my life will always be
    Am
The calm before the storm
