> Verse:
>
> They met in a hurricane
>
> Standing in the shelter out of the rain
>
> She tucked a note into his hand
>
> Later on they took his car
>
> Drove on down where the beaches are
>
> He wrote her name in the sand
>
> Never even let go of her hand
>
> Somehow they stayed that way
> For those 5 days in May
> Made all the stars around them shine
> Funny how you can look in vain
> Living on nerves and such sweet pain
> The loneliness that cuts so fine
> To find the face you've seen a thousand times
>
> Chorus:
>
> Sometimes the world begins
>
> To set you up on your feet again
>
> It wipes the tears from your eyes
>
> How will you ever know
>
> The way that circumstances go
>
> Always going to hit you by surprise
>
> I know my past
>
> You were there
>
Em7/
> In everything I've done
>
> You are the one
>
> Looking back it's hard to tell
> Why they stood while others fell
> Spend your life working it out
> All I know is one cloudy day
> They both just ran away
> Rain on the windshield heading South
> She loved the lines around his mouth
>
> (Chorus)
>
> Notes:
> Use an alternating bass/strum pattern, except for last four lines of
> chorus (from "I know my past...") where the chords are finger-plucked
> on strings 2 through 5 only. Those chords are:
