VERSE:
E              B            A    E
Morning, it's another pure, grey morning,
      B             A      E
Don't know what the day is holding 
       B     A           E                   B         A         E
When I get uptight and I walk right into the path of a lightning bolt.


[play: Guitar Figure 1]  [x2]


VERSE:
Sirens of an ambulance comes howling
Right through the centre of town
And no one blinks an eye and I look up to the sky in the path of a lighting
bolt.


[play: Guitar Figure 1]


VERSE:
Met her as the angels parted for her but it only brought me torture
But that's what happens when it's you that's standing in the path of a
lightning bolt.


[play: Guitar Figure 1]


CHORUS:
A
Everyone I see just wants to walk with gritted teeth
           E
But I just   stand by and I wait my time
             A
They say you gotta tow the line, they want the water not the wine
           E               B            A         E
But when I see the signs I jump on that lightning bolt.


[play: Guitar Figure 1]  [x2]


VERSE:
Chances, people tell you not to take chances,
When they tell you there aren't any answers
And I was starting to agree but I awoke suddenly in the path of a
lightning bolt.


VERSE:
Fortune, people talking all about fortune
Do you make it or does it just call you.
In the blinking of an eye just another passerby in the path of a
lightning bolt.


[repeat CHORUS]

VERSE:
Silence, I was lying back gazing skywards,
When the moment got shattered
I remember what you said and then she fled in the path of a lightning bolt
