       D                          A      Bm D G
Did I sit alone and ask about my future?
          D                      A Bm D G
When you replied I just turned away
           D
I've been searching through my books to try
     A             Bm D  G
and find some truth
            D                      A Bm D G
Perhaps disguised as a mysterious way

And if I made a promise
Could I stay by your side?
Would you guarantee my safety?
And say that I'd be alright?

        F#m
But if Judgment Day started tonight
                          G
At least I'd know I was right and
I'd be laughing at the end of the world
F#m
Take my hand tonight
                         A
I'll think we'll be all right, girl

Chorus:
          Em
And I can see it on the TV
           Bm        A
There's an air attack
Em                                  Bm           A
People of the mountains, screaming "I'll be back!"
        Em
And I'm banging on your door
        Bm            A
So come on and let me in!
Em
Need a place to hide
Bm                 A                G      D
I need a place to hide before the storm begins

If I told you all the times when I'd done wrong
Could you bathe my soul and wash it all away?
I can't forgive the things that I can still remember
So I think, my friend, these sins are here to stay

And I could make a promise
With a tear in my eye
And all the hope in my heart
But all the doubt in my mind

And if Judgement Day had started tonight
At least I'd know I was right
And I'd be laughing at the end of the world
But take my hand tonight,
I think we'll be alright, girl

Chorus

Before the storm begins
Before the storm begins
Before the storm begins
I need a place to hide before the storm begins
