verse 1
You made keys at the hardware store
You made one for my front door
But I don't lock it anymore
Understand
Beach house windows wind blows through
Some days the ocean's cruel
The waves they don't suffer fools
Understand
Summer of lightning
Striking in waves
Don't go into the water
Stay on the porch while the storm blows away
We're gonna get through this dark weather
We're gonna get through this
Together
verse 2 (Key change
July turns to August heat
Burns your face and burns my feet
We have to sleep on top of the sheets
Understand
We will watch the circus breaking down
The ferris wheel stand half-way round
The summer tourists leave this town
Understand
Summer of lightning
Striking in waves
Don't go into the water
Stay on the porch while the storm blows away
We're gonna get through this dark weather
We're gonna get through this
Together
Together
Instrumental solo over Chorus chords
verse 3 (Key change)
They can board their windows they can pack it in
Drive away until the spring
We'll take our walks out in the wind, yeah
Take my hand it's a
Wonderland
Summer of lightning
Striking in waves
Don't go into the water
Stay on the porch while the storm blows away
We're gonna get through this dark weather
We're gonna get through it
We're gonna get through this dark weather
We're gonna get through it
We're gonna get, we're gonna get,
We're gonna get through it
Together, together together
