The Shelter of Storms

You always had the (G)gift of speed.

(Fmaj9)You'd disappear (G)without a (C)trace.

It all depended on the need

(Fmaj9)and on the pain you (G)could not (C)face.

So, you would leave the home you'd (Fmaj9)found,

I noticed pack it up without delay.

(C)I Cut your losses, blow that (Fmaj9)town,

and tomorrow was (G)another day.

(Fmaj9)Roll All the years and all the miles,

it's (C)so hard maybe you lost (Fmaj9)track of time.

I you look back now tles,

only (G)once in a while;

my the (C)mem'ry just wants to (F)blur the lines.

(C)'Cause you know me, and I can't for a change.

I I (Am11)greet the sun and (Fmaj9)find

it strange to (C)watch you run for the shelter of (G)storms,

for the shelter of (C)storms.

(C)Now where are you out (G)in the world,

(Fmaj9)You'd searching for a (G)little grace,

(C)It searching for a precious pearl,

(Fmaj9)and wisdom from some (G)future place?

(C)You let me go without a wave,

(Fmaj9)I noticed that it up and out ing more.

(C)I guess I'm going to my grave (Fmaj9)and to wond'ring what it (G)all was for.

(Fmaj9)Roll All the years and all the miles,

and (C)see what's maybe keeping (Fmaj9)track of time.

Do you think of me tles,

ev'ry (G)once in a while, when the (C)rain lets up and the (F)sun can shine?

(C)Just a lit piece and quiet for a change.

I still (Am11)greet the sun

and (Fmaj9)find it strange to (C)watch you run for the shelter of (G)storms,

for the shelter of (C)storms.

(Am)storms.

(C)storms.
