[Verse 1]
           Abm    B
Out of the blue it all changed in an instant
 Abm
He was nineteen when she told him she was pregnant
B
Barely out of high school, living in a small town
 
Neither of 'em had a job or money in the bank
B
He got work on the factory floor
Abm
Struggling to make ends meet but she adored him
B
Always in his corner when her parents started on her, like
E                                  Abm
"He won't ever amount to that much"
B
The baby arrived, really they tried
E                                 Abm
She said , "Let's do the best we can, a day at a time"
B
He started staying out all night getting drunk
E
Convinced he couldn't deal with what he had and what he'd done
B
He lost his job and that was no surprise
E                                 Abm
She said, "I can't go on watching you destroy your life
B
You need to get it together or I'm leaving with our kid"
B
He said, "It's probably best if you left," so she did.

Abm                         B
So when you gonna learn? (Oh ohhh ohhhhhh)
E             Abm
It'll hit you hard
Abm                B
Even if it hurts (Oh ohhh ohhhhhh)
E
And it always does
B                          B
So when you gonna learn? (Oh ohhh ohhhhhh)
E
Let it in your heart
B
We come together and fall apart
E           B
Out of the blue, my love
 
[Verse 2]
B
Five years later and she's living in the city
Abm
And she'd severed all contact to her old life
Abm                    B
Her little girl's at school, she was working days
B
Staying up late and studying through the night
B                 E
Out of the blue, he called up and they talked
E                     Abm
He said he'd got a job up north on fishing trawlers
Abm                            B
He hadn't touched a drink for two years, he'd been clean
B
Plus he saved some money on the side in between
B
He cleared his throat, made an awkward joke
Abm
And asked "Maybe I could come and visit you both?
B                                  B
But only if you think it's alright, I mean"
E
She said she'd think about it, the next day she agreed
 
[Hook]
Abm        B
(oh ohh ohhhhhh)
 
B               Abm
  It'll hit you hard
Abm               B
Even if it hurts (Oh ohh ohhh)
E
Like it always does
B
So when you gonna learn?  (Oh ohh ohhhh)
     E
Let it in your heart
Abm                   B
We come together and fall apart
E
Out of the blue, my love
B
Out of the blue
E                Abm
Out of the blue  (mmm mmmmm)
Abm
Out of the blue
B
Out of the blue, my love
 
[Verse 3]
Abm
He got on a plane and flew across the desert
B
Watching as the world flew by
E
It felt like he held his breath from the airport
B
All the way to her front door the whole time
Abm
He knocked soft and she opened up
B
And they looked at each other, both dumbstruck
E
Each waiting for the other one to speak first
B
But neither of 'em could find any words, then
Abm
Out of the blue, as if on cue
B
Trying to hold back the tears in their eyes
E
And with a voice full of cracks and a heart fit to burst
B
She said, "Well, you took your time"
 
[Bridge]
Abm
These moments make up a lifetime
B
Mistakes we make are not fixed in stone
E
People we love are a lifeline
B
And none of us can do it on our own
Abm
Out of the blue
B
Out of the blue
E
Out of the blue, love saves us
B
Out of the blue, we all learn that lesson

Abm                         B
So when you gonna learn? (Oh ohhh ohhhhhh)
E             Abm
It'll hit you hard
Abm                B
Even if it hurts (Oh ohhh ohhhhhh)
E
And it always does
B                          B
So when you gonna learn? (Oh ohhh ohhhhhh)
E
Let it in your heart
B
We come together and fall apart
E           B
Out of the blue, my love
