Verse 1
A
D
It was just starting to drizzle
as I walked out the door
G
But I've delivered papers in the rain

Three-thirty in in the morning,
I was happy as a lark
G
A
D
As I grabbed my bike and rode into the dark
Verse 2
D
I pedaled through the neighborhood,
the weather on my mind

But the wind was picking up and
Em
howling louder all the time
D
The sky churned like a cauldron and
the distant thunder roared
G
A
D
And I knew that I was in for quite a storm

G
A little rain never hurt no one,
D
And I tried to tell myself,
G
A
it's always darkest before the dawn
Verse 4
D
Lightning struck an oak tree
as I leapt off my bike
G
The sirens started wailing but
Em
there was no good place to hide
D
I knew without a doubt,
there was a twister touching down
G
A
D
So I crawled into a culvert to wait it out
Verse 5
G
The little bit of courage I had
D
But I tried to tell myself,
G
A
D
it's always darkest before the dawn
Verse 6
G
then the nightmare started,
Bm
it got deafeningly loud
D
Every fiber in me screamed out but
Em
Bm
I couldn't make a sound
G
A
The whirling of a vortex,
G
F#
Bm
a violent carousel

Verse 7
G
That was when I saw my family
D
A
with my eyes shut real tight
G
Would they know how much I loved
Bm
A
them if this was how I died?
G
No, I vowed I'd not be murdered by a
D
A
Em
monster in the sky that night
D
Verse 8
A
G
But if I went home to heaven,
A
at least that's where I'd belong

Yeah, I tried to tell myself,

it's always darkest before the dawn

Verse 9
A
E
The shadows slowly melted
as I was hunkered down
A
Till at last the worst was over,
F#m
the storm was dying out
E
I crept out of that culvert and I
went weak in the knees
A
B
'Cause what I saw was a somber
Verse 10
E
There was nothing but destruction
and wreckage in that town
A
Cars were upside down and
F#m
houses leveled to the ground
E
A twisted trampoline was
hanging from the power lines
A
I blinked a tear back 'cause I
B
E
felt lucky to be alive
Verse 11
A
And that was how I learned to live when
E
B
you can run but you can't hide
A
How to feel trapped in a tunnel but
C#m
B
come out the other side
A
'Cause with all the stormy weather in the world,
B
C#m
To take life one storm at a time,
A
B
you don't have to be afraid
Verse 12
A
B
And now when there's bad weather on the way,
I stay calm
E
A
And I keep hanging on because it's always
B
darkest before the dawn
