 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
