Intro.:  (G) x 2 bars

(G)Driving in the fast lane, countin' (Em)mile marker signs
The (C)empty seat beside me (G)keeps you on my mind

(G)Livin' in the heartache was never (Em)something I pursued
(C)I can't keep on chasin' what (G)I can be for you

(Chorus)
(G)Ooh, skies are black (Em)and blue
Thinkin' a-(C)bout you, here in the (G)calm after the storm

(G)Tears on a highway, (Em)water in my eyes
This (C)rain ain't gonna change us, so I (G) used to cry

(G)I can say I'm sorry, but (Em)I don't wanna lie
I just (C)wanna know if stayin' is (G)better than goodbye

(Chorus)
(G)Ooh, skies are black (Em)and blue
Thinking a-(C)bout you, here in the (G)calm after the story

(Chorus 2)
(G)Ooh, after all that (Em)we've been through
There ain't no-(C)thin' new, here in the (G)calm after the storm

Solo:  |(G) |(G) |(Em) |(Em) |(C) |(C) |(G) |(G) |

(G)Baby, I can find you (Em)down this broken line
(C)Maybe you can find me, I (G)guess we'll know in time ---

(Chorus)
(G)Oooo skies are black (Em)and blue
I'm thinking a-(C)bout you, here in the (G)calm after the storm

(Tag)
There ain't no-(C)thing new, --- here in the (G)calm after the storm -----
