[Intro]
 Em  D  Am  C

[Verse]
 Em
 They met in a hurricane
 D
 Standing in the shelter out of the rain
 Am                         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

 Em  D  Am  C

 Em
 Somehow they stayed that way
 D
 For those 5 days in May
 Am                         C
 Made all the stars around them shine
 Em
 Funny how you can look in vain
 D
 Living 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
 It wipes the tears from your eyes
 C
 How will you ever know
 C
 The way that circumstances go
 Bm                            D
 Always going to hit you by surprise
   Am
 I know my past
 G/B
 You were there
    C               Em7/C
 In everything I've done
             Em
 You are the one

[Verse 2]
Em
 Looking back it's hard to tell
 D
 Why they stood while others fell
Am                         C
 Spend your life working it out
Em
 All I know is one cloudy day
D
 They both just ran away
 Am                       C
 Rain on the windshield heading South
 G          F             C    D
 She loved the lines around his mouth

[Chorus]
 C
 Sometimes the world begins
 C
 To set you up on your feet again
 Bm                           D
 It wipes the tears from your eyes
 C
 How will you ever know
 C
 The way that circumstances go
 Bm                            D
 Always going to hit you by surprise
   Am
 I know my past
 G/B
 You were there
    C               Em7/C
 In everything I've done
             Em
 You are the one
