A                            G
I met you in the middle of a hurricane
                                     A
Our feet were barely touching on the ground
A                                   G
You taught me how to rise above the unexplained
                                 A
The least of which was more than profound
A                                 G
I told you baby listen they can't trade your place
                          A
With anybody for the one inside
A                                            G
There's something that connects us more than anything
                  A
It all adds up to signify
A       G               A
Life by numbers you and me
A         G                                        A
Keep your thunder right where my lightning's gonna be
A                              G
I always wondered how far was infinity
                                     A
And now I see it flash through your eyes
A                                  G
I heard a  little voice that said we're almost free
                               A
But that should come as no big surprise
A
Life by nunbers won't lie down
A         G                                                 A
Keep your thunder right but don't trade it for the easy way out
Bm                     A
Oh your name puts some rhythmn to the game
Bm               A
Keeps on humming through the house
Bm             A
Love when fair makes it more than OK
Bm                      C#m
I'd like to explain but here comes the solo

SOLO

A                                   G
They'll ask you to play "She Thinks I Still  Care"
                                 A
It's time to bring the singer on down
                                           G
They'll try to tell you to listen once you been back there
                                 A
You better learn to get yourself out
A       G               A
Life by numbers you and me
A         G                                        A
Keep your thunder right where my lightning's gonna be
A       G               A
Life by numbers you and me
A         G                                        A
Keep your thunder right where my lightning's gonna be
