Riding in on the storm
I’ve got my leather jacket on
And it’s so cold outside
Inside it’s warm tonight
The flood waters don’t bother me
I’m only scared of that deep blue sea
That’s where everything is emptying
Cause tonight I’ve got to see you
Nothing’s gonna come between me and you
Tonight I’ve got to see you
Living like a queen with an ocean view
Ocean view, ocean view
Riding in on the storm
I’m thinking ‘bout Jim Morrison
If there’s a killer on the road
I hope he kills no one that I know
Riding from the heartland
Destination: cold white beach sand
I’ll jump right in I hope you understand
Cause tonight I’ve got to see you . . .
I’ve got my baby on the ocean
I’ve got my baby on the ocean
So tell me what you want
I’ll give you what you need
I’m on my bended knee
But don’t you act so cool
You treat me like a fool
That’s alright with me
Em Esus4/F#
1. Speak the words
Em/G C A7
You know you need to say
D G (Esus4/F#)
To her
2. Talk to me
Even if I seldom speak
You know that I’m listening
3. Hear me when
I say I cannot tell the truth
And I will not lie
Chorus:
C G
One new day we’ll finally get it firgured out
Em
We’ll finally get it firgures out
A7
And we won’t ever fight again
C G
One new day we’ll finally get it figured out
Em D G
And we won’t ever fight again
(last time tag A7 C A7 C D G)
4. Say my name
Its you I win again
And your smile is mine
5. But this girl she finds
She’s been wasting all her youth
And time and that ain’t right
6. Scream come on
You really ought to let it out
You can even scream along with me
One new day . . .
Bridge:
| |: Em C A7 Dsus4 D Dsus2 D :| |
One new day . . .
7. Serve someone
Don’t serve someone you do not want to
Serve the one you love
At least we’ll get a story from it
Let’s go find a nice place to sit
Where we can go spit in the wind
And confess all our sins
Before we turn ourselves in
We must be out of our wits
Like a temptress in love
We’re going to pull down that bridge
Just to watch it come tumbling down
The bank was closed
The money truck got stuck
Somewhere on the way
In fact this whole damn place is cut off
Hud was the first to go
Followed by his cousin Joe
Now they’re just souls and they’re howling at midnight
Like a thief from his hide out
Just give me one reason
Just give me one to check it and get it
Just give me one reason
To check it and get it I’ll take you all down
Confess to doctors not priests
Who you going to trust of believe
Leave the priests to the recently deceased
And let the rest of us get on with their lives
We can get that bullet out
There’s a man that I’ve been hearing about
And for a nominal fee he can do anything
Anything that we need
Just give me one reason . . .
Before we go there my friend
Where have you hidden the cash
Tell me where you stashed it before
The life leaks out that whole in your breast
Go away and I will follow
Time and space are cold and hollow
As the wind that blows above you
And the words to say I love you
We are leaves that die and blow away
And pray to the wind
To keep us
In the air we're flying over
The creeping woods and fields of clover
Green and gone before the season
Try so hard to find a reason
Trees are chained by roots they cannot run
The sun shines through
Me and you
Settle down you can't forever
Run away from me whenever
Winter comes the leaves turn colors
Country kids run to their mothers
But we are orphans and we need to know what is free
You and me
