Bm                         G 
Standing in the driveway, trying to see it your way 
                D                    A 
Knowing you're gone, knowing you're gone 
Bm                               G 
As a night bird starts to sing, tail lights say everything 
           D                        A 
I need to know. But I won't let you go. 

                 D                        A 
I can't help my heart. I can't catch the wind. 
                  Bm                                   G 
So every night I raise the dead, and face the ghost of us again. 
                  D                  A     
I can't stop the flood. Drown your memory.  
             Bm                           G 
I can be a hurricane, a driving rain of misery.  
       Em                A                        Bm 
Oh we might be worlds apart, but I can't help my heart. 

Bm                            G  
Ever see a lightning strike, far away in the dead of night 
         D                    A  
Make a sound when it hits the ground? 
Bm                               G 
When I first looked in your eyes I fell too hard to recognize 
   D                            A 
A storm warning I should have known. 

                 D                        A 
I can't help my heart. I can't catch the wind. 
                  Bm                                   G 
So every night I raise the dead, and face the ghost of us again. 
                  D                  A     
I can't stop the flood. Drown your memory.  
             Bm                           G 
I can be a hurricane, a driving rain of misery.   
       Em                A                        Bm 
Oh we might be worlds apart, but I can't help my heart.

No I can't help my heart. I can't catch the wind. 
                   Bm                                 G      
So every night I raise the dead, and face the ghost of us again.

I can be a hurricane, a driving rain of misery.  
        Em                                   A 
Oh we might be worlds - we might be worlds apart 
       Em                                    A 
Oh we might be worlds - we might be worlds apart, 
                     Bm         G 
But I can't help my heart. 
                 Bm             G 
I can't help my heart. 
 Bm                         G 
Standing in the driveway, trying to see it your way.
