Waiting For Lightning

The National Parcs


Tom: A

Dsus2   D
A  Dsus2   Dsus4   A (fingerboard 5 on e chord)

[Verse 1]
           Dsus2   D
I remember days I was younger
 A  Dsus2   Dsus4   A
Growing up with the thunder
NC                 Dsus2   D     A     E
Living inside me
Dsus2   D
I ran fast like a river
A  Dsus2   Dsus4   A
Fell hard like timber
NC                      Dsus2   D    A    E
Hoping that I would see              everything


[Pre-Chorus 1]
   Bm
But I can be the one to hold on
Bm7
I just need to know for how long


[Chorus]
A      Bm        F#m
Ouuuuuuuuuuuu    Ouuuu
D        A   Bm      F#m  D
I've been waiting for lightning to strike
A      Bm        F#m
Ouuuuuuuuuuuu    Ouuuu
D        A   Bm      F#m  D                 A A A A
I've been waiting for lightning to strike


[Verse 2]
    D
And I want to know where to go to find
    E                            F#m   D
The place where the eyes and the mind meet
  E       A
Ooh
          D
Where the charge in the sky

Meets ground of mine
  E                      F#m    D
A flash of your light is all I need
  E
Ooh


[Pre-Chorus 2]
     Bm7
Yeah I can be the one to hold on

I just need to know for how long


[Chorus]

A      Bm        F#m
Ouuuuuuuuuuuu    Ouuuu
D        A   Bm      F#m  D
I've been waiting for lightning to strike
A      Bm        F#m
Ouuuuuuuuuuuu    Ouuuu
D        A   Bm      F#m  D
I've been waiting for lightning to strike

F#m  D  A     F#m  D  A  E

[Bridge]
F#m             D
In the storm my arms are stretched
    A
I'm standing here just don't forget
    F#m  D       A    E
(I'm waiting for lightning)
   F#m                D
My heart's a key tied to a string
   A
Up on a kite what will it bring
    F#m  D       A    E      E
(I'm waiting for lightning)
E
To strike


[Chorus]

A      Bm        F#
Ouuuuuuuuuuuu    Ouuu
D        A   Bm      F#m  D
I've been waiting for lightning to strike
A      Bm        F#m
Ouuuuuuuuuuuu    Ouuuu
D        A   Bm      F#m  D
I've been waiting for lightning to strike


[Ending]
A               Bm
In the storm my arms are stretched
    F#m                 D
I'm standing here just don't forget
           A   Bm      F#m  D
(I've been waiting for lightning to strike)
   A                  Bm
My heart's a key tied to a string
   F#m             D
Up on a kite what will it bring
           A   Bm      F#m  D
(I've been waiting for lightning)
    A
I'm waiting for lightning
NC
I'm waiting for lightning
NC
To strike
