[D] Three thirty in the morning, [Bb] not a soul in sight.

Rain drops on the windshield, there's a [Bb] storm moving in.
_ [A]
He's heading back from somewhere that he never should [Dm] have been. _
And the thunder [C] rolls, _ _ [Bm] _ [A] _ _

[Dm] Every light is burning [Bb] in a house across town.
[A] She's pacing by the telephone in her faded flannel [Dm] gown. _
Asking for a miracle, [Bb] hoping she's not right. _

And the [C] thunder rolls, _ [Bm] _ [A] _ _

_ _ _ _ [Ab] _
Wow, I like this song.
It's definitely got like a heaviness to it.
Okay.
But it's not.
You mean the [Bb] topic or the music?
The music.
Okay.
The music.
It just has like a, I don't know, it's definitely country, but it's like the finger picking.
I don't know, maybe he's like picking it extra hard or something.
I don't know.
I don't know.
It's definitely got like a heaviness to it though.
I like it.
The [Dm] thunder rolls. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ She's waiting by the window [Bb] when he pulls into the drive.
[A] She rushes out to hold him, thankful [Dm] he's alive.
But all the wind and [Bb] rain, a strange new perfume blows.
[A] And the lightning flashes in her eyes, and he knows that [Dm] she knows.
And the thunder [C] rolls, _
_ [A] _ _ and the thunder rolls. _ _
_ [D] _ _ [Bb] The thunder [C] rolls, and the lightning [Dm] strikes.
Another [Bb] love goes cold [C] on a [A] sleepless night.
As the [Bb] storm blows _ [C] hard, out of [Am] control.
[Dm] Deep in [Bb] her heart, [C] the [Dm] thunder rolls. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] Nice.
Oh, I like that song.
Oh, that electric guitar was such a nice little addition, you know?
And then like, he'd be like, and the lightning strikes and he'd be like.
So it's his vocals that made the song country, right?
I don't know.
The finger [E] picking too, but then it's like, is Fleetwood Mac [Bb] country?
Because Fleetwood Mac, like, Never Going Back Again has [A] similar like.
Yeah, the [Gb] music didn't sound especially country to me.
Yeah, it had to be his voice.
But the vocals definitely sound [Ab] country.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And the thunder rolls.
Yeah, they're like, I [E] don't know.
They're like. _
You know what I'm talking about?
A little.
Just a little bit.
Just a little bit.
I know what you're talking about.
But you were comparing it to Alanis [Ab] Morissette.
I didn't say that.
I didn't say that.
But yeah, I was.
Comparing it to Alanis Morissette.
And you know.
And it's not the same sound.
You think any kind of sound in that direction is like, oh, same sound, same sound.
No, [A] it's not.
Whoa, well then.
Anyway, I really like this song.
This was [Eb] awesome.
This is a sad song though.
Why does it make you so happy, [Bb] huh?
And the lightning strike.
It just sounded epic.
I feel like this was an epic sound.
But he was cheating on her.
Was he?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
The perfume.
She could smell it on his shirt.
Okay.
Yeah, that's true.
Another love grows cold.
If they had kids.
Now the kids aren't gonna have a dad in the house.
And the guy's gonna lose half his 401k or whatever he has.
Half of everything.
The song's extremely sad.
And thunder rolls.
[E] I mean, I was thinking like, oh, [Bb] that thunder effect was cool.
I was more in the sound and not the meaning.
Oh, okay.
You [A] know what I'm saying?
But yeah.
Dang. [E] Okay.
Usually the sound captures the emotion.
And I wasn't getting the emotion of like that.
Like it wasn't particularly sad to me.
Well, I mean, he wasn't talking about himself.
He's talking about someone else.
So who cares?
_ Okay.
I'm saying maybe that's how he feels.
He's just telling somebody else's story.
Sucks to be that guy.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
You know what I mean?
He wasn't saying I got that.
He's like the neighbor.
He's like the neighbor watching.
Exactly.
He's like, oh, [G] snap.
That's the vibrant song.
Definitely.
_ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [G] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [G] _
You [Ab] need to go.
She told [G] me, boy, you need to go.
Like I [Ab] don't know.
