F#m  A       E     B           F#m
The sea it swells like a sore head
         A          E    B
And the night it is aching
F#m  A      E        B                 F#m
Two lovers lie with no sheets on their bed
         A          E    B
And the day it is breaking

F#m A     E       B          F#m
On rainy days we go swimming out
    A     E         B           F#m
On rainy days, swimming in the sound
    A     E       B
On rainy days we go swimming out

Chorus:
D             E  A           C#m
You're in my mind all of the time
               D
I know that's not enough
                 E
if the sky can crack
       A               C#m
there must be some way back
             D
for love and only love

Car alarm won't let you back to sleep
You're kept awake dreaming someone else's dream
Coffee is cold but it'll get you through
Compromise, that's nothing new to you

Let's see colors that have never been seen
Let's go places no one else has been

Chorus

D E  F#m     A
     Electrical Storm
D E  F#m     A
     Electrical Storm
D E  F#m     A    B
     Electrical Storm
                 F#m
     Baby don't cry

It's hot as hell, honey, in this room
Sure hope the weather will break soon
The air is heavy, heavy as a truck
We need the rain to wash away our bad luck

Hey!
Hey!

Chorus:
Well if the sky can crack there
must be some way back
To love and only love
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Baby, don't cry
Baby, don't cry
Baby, don't cry
Baby, don't cry
