G                        Em                  C              G
There's a storm outside, and the gap between crack and thunder
G                  Em             C           G
Crack and thunder, is closing in, is closing in
G                    Em                  C                   G
The rain floods gutters, and makes a great sound on the concrete
G                         Em                      C
On a flat roof, there's a boy leaning against the wall of rain
G                   Em                C               G
Aerial held high, calling "come on thunder, come on thunder"

G          Em                             C                      G
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
G          Em                             C                      G
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul

G               Em             C               G
It's a monsoon, and the rain lifts lids off cars
G               Em             C               G
Spinning buses like toys, stripping them to chrome
G               Em               C                   G
Across the bay, the waves are turning into something else
G                    Em               C              G
Picking up fishing boats and spewing them on the shore
G                                 Em                 C              G
The boy is hit, lit up against the sky, like a sign, like a neon sign

G                Em                     C
And he crumples, drops into the gutter, legs twitching
G
The flood swells his clothes and delivers him on, delivers him on

G          Em                             C                      G
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
G          Em                             C                      G
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul

G                             Em                  C               G
There's four new colors in the rainbow, an old man's taking polaroids
G                   Em              C           G
But all he captures is endless rain, endless rain
G                  Em                           C                              G
He says listen, takes my head and puts my ear to his and I swear I can hear the sea

G      Em                     C                     G
Sometimes, when I look in your eyes, I can see your soul
(I can reach your soul)
(I can touch your soul)
