Em             G       Bm                 D
Been in this grass here for the last ten hours
Em              G                        Bm  D
My clothes are dirty but my mouth isn't dry
Em           G    Bm                        D
How does it happen, does it fly through the air
Em     G              Bm      D C A# F
Oh, I gave up asking days away

          C      A# F C A#
I gave up asking
F      C A# F
Days away

Chorus:
Em                      G
And now I'm lying here waiting
                   Bm   D
for the sound of thunder
Em               G        Bm     D
Waiting for the sound of thunder

Here I am, I'm a dotted line
Cut the corners, tick me to your door
I'm the man who stepped off the path

    F       C     A# F C A#
And I just lie here
       F         C      A# F
It's what I was made for

F#m                   A    C#m
And now my eyes are closing but
                  E
I still feel the land
F#m      A                      C#m  E
Leaning out for the touch of my hand

     F#m
The world spins so fast
     A
That I might fly off
    C#m
The world spins so fast
     E
That I might fly off
    F#m
The world spins so fast
A                C#m E
That I might fly off

F#   B                        C#
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
F#   B                        C#
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
F#   B                        C#
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
F#   B                        C#
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
F#   B                        C#
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
