GThere's a storm outside G...and the gap between crack and 
Gthunder... crack and Em7thunder, is closing Cadd9in, is closing Gin
[Verse 1]
G//// GThe rain floods gutters Em7...and makes a great Cadd9sound on concrete
G...on a flat Groof, there's a boy leaning against the Gwall of rain, aerial held 
Em7high... calling, Cadd9"Come on thunder! GCome on thunder!"
[Chorus]
G...Some- Gtimes... Em7when I look deep in your Cadd9eyes I swear I can see your Gso-o-oul
G...Some- Gtimes... Em7when I look deep in your Cadd9eyes I swear I can see your Gsoul
[Verse 2]
G...It's a Gmonsoon and the Em7rain lifts lids off cars, Cadd9spinning buses like toys,
Gstripping them to chrome... G//// GAcross the bay, the waves are 
Em7turning into something else, Cadd9picking up fishing boats and Gspewing them on the shore
[Verse 3]
G//// GThe boy is hit, lit Em7up against the sky, like a Cadd9sign, like a neon
Gsign... G//// GAnd he crumples, drops into the 
Em7gutter... cuts Cadd9strange... legs Gtwitching.
G...The flood Gswells his clothes, Em7...delivers him on, Cadd9////  Gdelivers him on.
[Chorus]
G...Some- Gtimes... Em7when I look deep in your Cadd9eyes I swear I can see your Gso-o-oul
G...Some- Gtimes... Em7when I look deep in your Cadd9eyes I swear I can see your Gsoul

GThere's four new colors in the rain- Em7bow; an old man's taking Cadd9Polaroids
G//// G...But all he captures Gis endless rain

G...He says G"listen," takes my head, Em7puts my ear to his... and Cadd9I swear I can hear the Gsea.
