Feels Like Lightning Chords & Lyrics - Josh Ritter

[INTRO]
[C/G]

[VERSE 1]
[C/G]Little rooster out on a fence post crowing
[C/G]Here comes the storm like a big rig rolling
[F]Here comes the storm like a big rig flying
[C/G]Heavy, loaded down, fit to split the sky in

[CHORUS]
And[G] oh, my little heart's in trouble
Feels like it just might ex-[F]plode

Why they call it love when, oh
It feels like lig[C/G]htning?

[VERSE 2]
[C/G]I'm out in the open and the wind starts blowing
[C/G]I don't know any which way I'm going
[F]I don't know any which way I'm bound
[C/G]I used to be laughing but I ain't laughing now

[CHORUS]
And[G] oh, my little heart's in trouble
Feels like it just might ex-[F]plode

Why they call it love when, oh
It feels like lig[C/G]htning?

[BRIDGE 1]
With [Am]cherry blossoms sweet with smoke
And [Em]Venus blazing above the oak
I th[F]ought I knew all that there was to[C/G] know [G]
With the [Am]bluebird doing whatever it does
And [Em]God in his heaven wherever that was
And the [F]sun was on the face of the buffa[G]lo

[VERSE 3]
[C/G]Out across the fields are the thunderheads gathering
[C/G]Clouds all gone to the color of a cavern
[F]Dust devils spinning around a hollow sound
[C/G]They used to be laughing but they ain't laughing now

[CHORUS]
And[G] oh, my little heart's in trouble
Feels like it just might ex-[F]plode

Why they call it love when, oh
It feels like lig[C/G]htning?

[BREAK]
[C] [C] [C] [F]
[C] [G] [F] [C/G]

[BRIDGE 2]
Wi[Am]th monarch velvet dust the wind [?]
Alwa[Em]ys leaving wherever it's been
I t[F]hought that this was happy how it [C/G]was [G][?]
And I t[Am]hought that I'd be doing fine
Ch[Em]ange the way I was walking the line
'T[F]il I heard the thunder rumbling high abo[G]ve

[VERSE 4]
[C/G]This ain't any kind of storm for chasing
[C/G]Gonna to catch up to you now, slow or racing
[F]Gonna catch up to you now, by and by
[C/G]Gonna make you feel good, gonna make you cry

[CHORUS]
And[G] oh, my little heart's in trouble
Feels like it just might ex-[F]plode

Why they call it love when, oh
It feels like lig[C/G]htning?
