Intro:  Em   G   Bm  F#m  
I had to Emcross the line Gto leave you behind
With Bmhopes to find F#msome peace of mind
Now I'm Emlooking for your voice through the Gchitter-chatter
That doesn't Bmmatter that's torn and tattered these F#mangels on a ladder
This Emlaughter Strip away the eGxtra plaster
I'm Bmcrashing fast It's the F#mmorning after
Through the Emhum and the buzz the Gthickness and the fuzz
I Bmjump over puddles to F#mstomp through the sludge
Chorus:
EmLook for me through the Gwind and rain
SunEmshine remember my Amname
I'll be Emcoming yes I'm running oh I'm Gon my way
Just Emstay and I'll be there Dby the break of day
EmLook for me through the Gwind and rain
ThunEmder remember my Amname
I'll be Emcoming yes I'm running oh I'm Gon my way
Just Emstay and I'll be there Dby the break of day
I had to Emevacuate the premGises you're your own nemesis
The Bmpremises you're born and F#mblood and leave the world penniless
I had to reEmmember that there's Gdarkness before the exodus
BmSplit the sea we'll F#mflee to the next come and vent with us
I had to Emsend and blend Gout spent it all on sentences 
BmFend off the members of reF#mlentless pessimists
I had to Emmiss the worGld looking for the core, cure
Bn         F#m  
My heart so I can live more
Chorus
Thunder
Remember my name
Thunder
Remember my name
City lights shine and I'm on my way
This time tomorrow I'll be on my way
At the break of day I look for you at sunrise
When the tide comes in I lose my disguise
Chorus
