[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] [play: Guitar Figure 1] [x2] 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 [play: Guitar Figure 1] [end on E]
