  			Intro: Bm G Em F#m (x6) 


Verse: 1 
Bm         G            Em        F#m 
I feel the breeze on my face in expectance 
Bm       G               Em            F#m 
Not very long before the storm reaches here 
Bm         G            Em           F#m       Bm 
Off in the distance the lightning is flashing again 
               G             Em          F#m 
Feel something strong as the power draws near 


Verse: 2 
Bm        G          Em           F#m        Em 
Is it the rolling of thunder that scares you? 
          G           Em               F#m  Em 
Is it the clashing of clouds that hold fear? 
          G         Em               F#m Em 
But all I know as I sit in a corner alone 
            G          Em         F#m 
It takes me back to my childhood again 

Bm G Em F#m (x4) 


Verse: 3 
Bm       G          Em          F#m   Em 
And as I wait and I look for an answer 
           G            Em          F#m Em 
To all the things going round in my head 
        G              Em     F#m        Em 
I ask myself, could it be a disaster and when 
           G              Em      F#m 
It's maybe threatening to happen again? 

Bm G Em (x2) 


Verse: 4 
       Bm 
As the ominous light draws near 
          G          Em         Bm 
There's a lone dog howls in the park 
Bm 
All the people hurry inside 
     G              Em      A 
As a lightning flash lights dark 
    G        Em     Bm 
The storm is nearly here 


Pre-Chorus: 
G    Em       Bm 
Only God will know 


Verse 5 
Bm 
You're sitting alone, you watch 
       G         Em       Bm 
As the wind's blowing treetops 
        Bm 
And the swaying rusting of leaves 
G             Em          A 
Plenty of time to perceive 
       G            Em      Bm 
As you wait for rain to fall 


Pre-Chorus: 
G    Em  Bm 
Only God knows 
    G     Em  F#m 
The whole sky glows 


 
Bm 
Maybe lightning strikes twice 
G     Em 
Maybe lightning strikes twice 
Bm 
Maybe lightning strikes twice 
D     Em 
Maybe lightning strikes twice 
Bm 
Maybe lightning strikes twice 
G     Em 
Maybe lightning strikes twice 
Bm 
Maybe lightning strikes twice 
D     Em                     F#m 
Maybe lightning strikes twice
