[Intro ]
 
(A) Just eighteen, fresh out of school 
(D) Got our diplomas and said I do 
(A) Daddy said boy I don't give you six months 
The (D) way I see it you've been blinded by lust 
(E) Settled down in a (F#m) two-room shack 
On a (D) dusty road by the (A) railroad tracks 
(E) Trains shook the rafters when (F#m) they rolled by 
It was (D) cold in December, hot in July 
 
And there was (A) wind through the window, and (D) rain through the (A) roof 
(D) Empty pockets and (E) holes in our shoes 
We just (A) counted on love and it (D) got us (A) through 
And there was (D) wind through the window (E) and rain through the (A) roof 
 
I'd (A) pull a double shift start before dawn 
(D) You're always waiting when I got home 
After (A) what we've been through I'm amazed we're alive 
I guess (D) where there's a will there's a way to survive 
That old (E) picture of Jesus that (F#m) hung on the wall 
When we (D) turned out the lights was the (A) last thing we saw 
Love (E) carried us on (F#m) into the night 
There was (D) just enough wrong to make everything right 
 
And there was (A) wind through the window, and (D) rain through the (A) roof 
(D) Empty pockets and (E) holes in our shoes 
We just (A) counted on love and it (D) got us (A) through 
And there was (D) wind through the window (E) and rain through the (A) roof 
 
We just (A) counted on love and it (D) got us (A) through 
And there was (D) wind through the window (E) and rain through the (A) roof 
 
Solo 
 
And there was (A) wind through the window, and (D) rain through the (A) roof 
(D) Empty pockets and (E) holes in our shoes 
We just (A) counted on love and love (D) got us (A) through 
And there was (D) wind through the window (E) and rain through the (A) roof 
(E) And rain through the (A) roof
