[Verse 1]

G G/F#

Sometimes I hear a song for you

Hidden beneath the skin of an orchestrated show

Distant and hanging on to the things you once were

[Chorus]

And so today as my mind

Makes a home in the stormy sky

When the lightning comes and knocks me down

To yesterday with me and you

And now I say as I realize

Sometimes I still get a little nostalgic

[Chorus]

And so today as my mind

Makes a home in the stormy sky

To yesterday with me and you

And now I say as I realize
