A G
I met you in the middle of a hurricane
A
Our feet were barely touching on the ground
A G
You taught me how to rise above the unexplained
A
The least of which was more than profound
A G
I told you baby listen they can't trade your place
A
With anybody for the one inside
A G
There's something that connects us more than anything
A
It all adds up to signify
A G A
Life by numbers you and me
A G A
Keep your thunder right where my lightning's gonna be
A G
I always wondered how far was infinity
A
And now I see it flash through your eyes
A G
I heard a little voice that said we're almost free
A
But that should come as no big surprise
A
Life by nunbers won't lie down
A G A
Keep your thunder right but don't trade it for the easy way out
Bm A
Oh your name puts some rhythmn to the game
Bm A
Keeps on humming through the house
Bm A
Love when fair makes it more than OK
Bm C#m
I'd like to explain but here comes the solo
SOLO
A G
They'll ask you to play "She Thinks I Still Care"
A
It's time to bring the singer on down
G
They'll try to tell you to listen once you been back there
A
You better learn to get yourself out
A G A
Life by numbers you and me
A G A
Keep your thunder right where my lightning's gonna be
A G A
Life by numbers you and me
A G A
Keep your thunder right where my lightning's gonna be
