[INTRO: ]G  C  Em  C  D  G D G 
 
 
CHORUS: 
G         C    G 
After the hurricane 
Em  C     D        G 
After the wind and rain 
G            C     Em 
When we lost everything 
C         D    G    D G 
After the hurricane 
 
C      G       Em      G 
It was not the drivin' rain 
     C               D             C 
That let our love go down the drain 
       G       Em      G 
It was not the howlin' wind 
     C             D             G 
That blew away the hopes I pinned 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
 
INTRO 
 
 
We were sheltered from the storm 
In what we thought was safe and warm 
We survived the risin' tide 
But there's no place that we could hide 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
 
SOLO 
 
 
Things were scattered, things got tossed 
But that was not what we had lost 
It's a way of markin' time 
To fit the reason to the rhyme
