[Verse 1]
                            G
I went to work for her that summer
                          Em
A teenage kid so far from home
                       C
She was a lonely widow woman
                            D
Hell-bent to make it on her own
                              G
We were a thousand miles from nowhere
                               Em
Wheat fields as far as I could see
                                 C
Both needing something from each other
 D    Gsus2                       G
Not knowing yet what that might be


[Verse 2]
                            G
'Til she came to me one evening
                          Em
Hot cup of coffee and a smile
                       C
In a dress that I was certain
                            D
She hadn't worn in quite a while
                            G
There was a difference in her laughter
                          Em
There was a softness in her eyes
                       C
And on the air there was a hunger
 D    Gsus2              G
Even a boy could recognize


[Chorus]
G                          D   C
She had a need to feel the thunder
                                G
To chase the lightning from the skies
                              C
To watch a storm with all its wonder
                       D
Written in her lover's eyes
                            Em        D  C
She had to ride the heat of passion
                     G
Like a comet burning bright
                        C
Rushing headlong in the wind
                           D
Now where only dreams have been
                         G       Gsus2 G
Burning both ends of the night


[Verse 3]
                            G
That summer wind was all around me
                          Em
Nothing between us but the night
                       C
When I told her that I'd never
                            D
She softly whispered that's alright
                            G
And then I watched her hands of leather
                          Em
Turn to velvet in a touch
                       C
There's never been a summer
D            Gsus2              G
When I have ever learned so much


[Chorus]
G                          D   C
She had a need to feel the thunder
                                G
To chase the lightning from the skies
                              C
To watch a storm with all its wonder
                       D
Written in her lover's eyes
                            Em        D  C
She had to ride the heat of passion
                     G
Like a comet burning bright
                        C
Rushing headlong in the wind
                           D
Now where only dreams have been
                         G       Gsus2 G
Burning both ends of the night

[Verse 4]
                            G
I often think about that summer
                          Em
The sweat, the moonlight and the lace
                       C
And I have rarely held another
                            D
When I haven't seen her face
                            G
And every time I pass a wheat field
                          Em
And watch it dancing with the wind
                       C
Although I know it isn't real
                       D
I just can't help but feel
       Gsus2       G
Her hungry arms again


[Chorus]
G                          D   C
She had a need to feel the thunder
                                G
To chase the lightning from the skies
                              C
To watch a storm with all its wonder
                       D
Written in her lover's eyes
                            Em        D  C
She had to ride the heat of passion
                     G
Like a comet burning bright
                        C
Rushing headlong in the wind
                           D
Now where only dreams have been
                         G       Gsus2 G
Burning both ends of the night

                        C
Rushing headlong in the wind
                           D
Now where only dreams have been
                         G       Gsus2 G
Burning both ends of the night
