VERSE 
 
 
E                              A-flat                                  A 
Today is a winding road that's taking me to places that I didn't want to go 
 
  B 
Whoa 
 
E                                A-flat 
Today in the blink of an eye I'm holding on to something and I do not know 
 
    A 
    why 
 
 
 B 
I tried 
 
 
        D-flat 
I tried to read between the lines, I tried to look in your eyes 
 
       A-flat 
I want a simple explanation, For what I'm feeling inside 
 
               A 
I gotta find a way out 
 
                B 
Maybe there's a way out 
 
(Chorus) 
 
E                  B 
Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer 
 
                   A 
Do you know you're unlike any other? 
 
       D-flat       B 
You'll always be my thunder, and I said 
 
E                 B 
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors 
 
              A 
I don't wanna ever love another 
 
       D-flat       B 
You'll always be my thunder 
 
   A            B 
So bring on the rain 
 
                  E 
And bring on the thunder 
E                       A-flat 
Today is a winding road tell me where to start and tell me something I don't 
   A 
   know 
B 
Whoa 
E (Palm)            A-flat  (Palm)                                A 
Today I'm on my own I can't move a muscle and I can't pick up the phone 
B 
I don't know 
D-flat 
And now I'm itching for the tall grass and longing for the breeze 
A-flat 
I need to step outside just to see if I can breathe 
A 
I gotta find a way out 
B 
Maybe theres a way out 
 
(Chorus) 
 
E                  B 
Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer 
                  A 
Do you know you're unlike any other? 
       D-flat       B 
You'll always be my thunder, and I said 
E                 B 
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors 
              A 
I don't wanna ever love another 
       D-flat       B 
You'll always be my thunder 
   A            B 
So bring on the rain 
 
BRIDGE 
 
     F 
Yeah I'm walking on a tightrope 
    D-flat 
I'm wrapped up in vines 
   A 
I think we'll make it out 
    B 
But you just gotta give me time 
F 
Strike me down with lightning 
    D-flat 
Let me feel you in my veins 
   B                                        A 
I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain 
 
OUTRO

 A 
Today is a winding road that's taking me to places that I didn't want to go 
 
B (long pause) 
Whoa 
 
 
E                  B 
Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer 
                   A 
Do you know you're unlike any other? 
       D-flat       B 
You'll always be my thunder, and I said 
 E                B 
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors 
              A 
I don't wanna ever love another 
 
       D-flat       B 
You'll always be my thunder 
   A            B 
So bring on the rain 
        A            B  (Sustain it) 
Oh baby bring on the pain 
                 E (1 strum) 
And listen to the thunder
