[Intro]
Em   C   D   G
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em                C
 There is a river that floats through everything
D                          G
And it burns with the fire that only summer brings
Em                       C
 Walking through the sky you didn’t leave no trace
D                          G
From the back of your mind to the smile on your face
C                            G
Everybody’s running but they don’t know why
Bm                                      Em
 Only a dream thinks it doesn’t have to die
C                                    G
 Tonight we’re gonna ride across the invisible line
Bm                   C
 Travel the distance between your heart and mine
 
 
[Chorus]
G                 D      C                          G
 Tearing down the thunder running through the night
                 D               C
Tearing down the thunder looking for a sign
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em               C
 I saw you moving at the end of the pier
D                                           Bm
Your dress was waving in the summer breeze, your eyes were bright and clear
Em                                      C
 Now there’s a storm out on the horizon, pressure going down
D                                                 Bm
It’s hard to tell when you’re talking to a ghost, there’s so many around
 
 
[Verse 3]
C
Now you’re on the edge of the street
        G
Telling everybody you’re the only one with the truth
Bm
Somewhere way across the other side
Em
The veil is coming loose
C
Shooting straight in the pregnant dark
G
Was it you who taught the sky how to rain?
Bm
 Telling lies with your fingertips
C
Coming round again
 
 
[Chorus]
G                 D      C                          G
 Tearing down the thunder running through the night
                 D               C
Tearing down the thunder looking for a sign
 
 
[Bridge]
Am                      C
I saw you in the shadows talking to the night
Am
I guess you had some secrets you could sell
C
 By your side
 
 
[Guitar Solo]
Em   C   D   Bm
Em   C   D   Bm
 
 
[Verse 4]
C                                 G
The admiral walks a lonely street with torn up broken feet
Bm                                   Em7
He’s following the past out to the sea
C                                 G
There’s no light in the window anymore for him
Bm                                       Em7
 There's no one on the shore but you and me
 
 
[Chorus]
G            D       C
 Distant thunder out on the plains
G            D             C
 Distant thunder, drifting rain
G                 D                C
 Tearing down the thunder, running through the night
G                 D               C
 Tearing down the thunder looking for a sign
        Em
Distant thunder
 
 
[Outro]
C   D   Bm   Em   C   D   Bm
C   G   Bm   Em   C
