Am
The first time I saw lightning strike
   F
I saw it underground
Am
Six deep feet below the street
      F
The sky came crashing down
      Am
For a second, that place was lost in space
     F
Then everything went black
  Am
I left that basement burning
       F
And I never went back...Ow!

The second time I saw it strike
I saw it at sea
It lit up all the fish like rain
And rained them down on me
For a second, that boat was still afloat
Then everything went black
I left it underwater
And I never went back

Chorus:
Dm
Hey, hey, hey!
      E7
But I like it when that lightning comes
Dm
Hey, hey, hey!
       E7
Yes, I like it a lot
Dm
Hey, hey, hey!
         E7
Yes, I'm jumping like a jumping jack
Dm                                      E7
Dancing, screaming, itching, squealing, fevered
                  Am  F     Am F
Feeling hot, hot, hot! Hot, hot, hot!

The third time I saw lightning strike
It hit me in bed
It threw me around
And left me for dead
For a second, that room was on the moon
Then everything went black
I left that house on fire
And I never went back

Chorus - x2
