Hurricanes

On the [Em]day that we left the ne[C]ighbourhood heart skipped a b[G]eat.  [D]
Oh the t[Em]rees folded up and they sh[C]ook as we drove down the st[G]reet [D]
I s[Em]aid to myself ‘We’re fin[C]ally getting aw[G]ay,  [D]
When we come b[Em]ack I kn[C]ow they’ll all look the sa[G]me’ [D]

Now let’s [D]go to our c[Em]ity and we’ll ch[C]ange over[D]night
We won’t th[D]ink about leav[Em]ing oh why wo[C]uld we do t[D]his time?

[G]A hurric[D]ane hit[C] while [D]we were missing
[G]Oh, can an[D]ybody tell me wh[C]ere the da[D]mage is?

On the d[Em]ay that we left the pho[C]nes and the power were d[G]own  [D]
Oh the w[Em]ind doubled up and it sa[C]nd every boy in the to[G]wn    [D]
You cr[Em]ied and you screamed and you pla[C]yed faith in the w[G]ar   [D]
When it was do[Em]ne the ma[C]gic it left with the st[G]orm [D]

Oh we m[D]oved to our c[Em]ity and we ch[C]anged overni[D]ght
We won’t th[D]ink about lea[Em]ving now why wo[C]uld we to g[D]ood time?

[C]Abov[Em]e my waistline[D] benea[Em]th my skin
[C]Your not afraid to d[D]ig those f[G]inger nails in

We don’t[Em] need our ch[C]ildhood I’m so s[G]ure now I was the[D]re
By the t[Em]ime the winds have e[C]rased us
Oh I may [G]as well have lived h[D]ere with you if anywhere
