       E B C#m E
	   
         E       B
It's the waves below us
        C#m    E
And our fate before us
        E        B
Like a rolling thunder
        C#m      E
Rolling out from under
          E          B
Dont ever leave this way
                    C#m           E
I know it's getting harder by the day
        E  E/Bb        G#m     F#
If your world   should crumble yeah
        E
And the rain gets in, running through your skin
F#
Sucking you outside in

    E           B
The rain see it falling
    C#m                      E
And I dont know how long it will be
                G#m
Until the storm is over
     E        F#
I'll wait, I will

         E        B
Like the years of silence
        C#m    E
To the growing violence
        E        B
Like a rolling thunder
        C#m      E
Rolling out from under
          E             B
Dont ever leave me this way
               C#m           E
Wait a little longer, yeah stay
        E  E/Bb       G#m     F#
Through the night I tumble here
         E
When the rain comes in I will shed my skin
F#
Losing it from within

        E            B
See the rain it's falling
    C#m                            E
But I, I wont be leaving your side until
             G#m
The storm is over
E                  F#
Cause I'll wait, I will

      E        B
So many lifetimes
           C#m         E
She's been waiting for it
        E         B
All through the good times
         C#m       E
When you try to go it
          E             B
Hesitate, it's come too late
               C#m           E
Hear the sound of the wheels again
         E
When the rain comes in I will shed my skin
F#
Losing it from within

    E           B
The rain keeps falling
    C#m                            E
But I, I wont be leaving your side until
             G#m
The storm is over
    E                 F#
So I'll wait, cause I will
    C#m                                 E
Ooh, and I dont know how long it will be until
             G#m
The storm is over
        E              F#
But I'll wait, cause I will
