I adore this song so much and I saw no tabs so I
thought I could make one. You can strum or
figure out a fingerpick pattern. There's really no exact 
chorus??? so

EThere'll be pain ahead, as there always is
AAs long as I'm around you
But for F#now I hope we'll Ejust Aenjoy
The B7calm before the Estorm
It's so quiet now when we fall in love
Oh Afinally, I've found you
And the F#world stands still, Eoh, what a Athrill
The B7calm before the Estorm
[Ryan Ross & Z Berg]
But Amlightning strikes again
She B7rears her ugly head
With Gecstasy and sorrow
In the B7end, quite a pair
[Z Berg]
I was Ewiser then, I'm much younger now
Did AI survive the nothing
Though F#depressing, I Emust recoAgnize
The B7calm before the Estorm

I Amknow it's only right
Winds B7blow, with all your might
Though a Ghouse of cards goes toppling
Every B7time, by design

And the F#world stands still, oh, Ewhat a thriAll

And it's F#still a thrill, when Ewe stand Astill
The B7calm before the Estorm
For B7now and DnevermorEe
