Calm after the Storm

Intro: Ab | Ab

Ab
Driving in the fast lane
         Fm
Counting mile marker signs,
    Db
The empty seat beside me
Ab
Keeps you on my mind.

Ab
Living in the heartache
          Fm
Was never something I pursued.
Db
I can’t keep on chasing.
Ab
What I can’t be for you?

Chorus:
     Ab                   Fm
     Uuh, skies are black and blue.
                   Db
     I’m thinking about you
                 Ab
     Here in the calm after the storm.

Tears on the highway,
Water in my eyes,
This rain ain’t gonna change us,
So what’s the use to cry.

I could say I’m sorry
But I don’t wanna lie.
I just wanna know if staying
Is better than goodbye.

Chorus:
     Uuh, skies are black and blue.
     I’m thinking about you
     Here in the calm after the storm.

     Uuh, after all that we’ve been through
     There ain’t nothing new
     Here in the calm after the storm.

Instrumental: Ab | Ab | Fm | Fm | Db | Db | Ab | Ab

Maybe I can find you
Down this broken line,
Maybe you can find me,
I guess we’ll know in time.

Chorus:
     Uuh, skies are black and blue.
     I’m thinking about you
     Here in the calm after the storm.

                   Db
     There ain’t nothing new
                 Ab
     Here in the calm after the storm.

Instrumental: Ab
