Am
There's a storm on the streets,
                     C
but you still don't run
              Dm              Em
Watching and waiting for the rain to come.
Am
And these words wouldn't keep you dry
C
Or wipe tears from an open sky,
Dm                                      Em
But I know, but I know, but I know I'm right.

F                Dm
I won't let you drowned,
when the water's pulling you in
Am                 G
I'll keep fighting, I'll keep fighting.
     F
The rain's going to follow you wherever you go.
      G
The clouds go black and the thunder rolls
    Am              G
And I see lightning, I see lightning.

Chorus:
A                  Dm
When the world surrounds you,
                  A#
I'll make it go away
                    E
Paint the sky with silver lining.
A              Dm                     A#
I will try to save you, cover up the grey
      E
With silver lining.

Now there's no way back
From the things you've done
I know it's too late
To stop the setting sun
You see the shadows in the distant light
And it's never gonna be alright
And you know, and you know
And you know I'm right

And I won't get left behind
When the walls come tumbling in
I'll keep climbing, I'll keep climbing
The rain's going to follow you wherever you go
The clouds go black and the thunder rolls
And I see lightning, I see lightning

Chorus - x2

 A               Dm
Silver, silver, silver, silver,
 A#              E
silver, silver, silver lining.
Silver, silver, silver, silver
(Thank the sky, thank the sky)
Silver, silver, silver, silver
Silver, silver, silver, silver
Silver, silver, silver
