5 Days In May by Blue Rodeo
Key: EmEm | Capo: 0fr |  Left-Handed 

    


Em  D  Am  C 
  
 Em 
 They met in a hurricane 
 D 
 Standing in the shelter out of the rain 
 Am                         C 
 She tucked a note into his hand 
 Em 
 Later on they took his car 
 D 
 Drove on down where the beaches are 
 Am                       C 
 He wrote her name in the sand 
 G          F             C    D 
 Never even let go of her hand 
 
 Somehow they stayed that way 
 For those 5 days in May 
 Made all the stars around them shine 
 Funny how you can look in vain 
 Living on nerves and such sweet pain 
 The loneliness that cuts so fine 
 To find the face you've seen a thousand times 
  
 C 
 Sometimes the world begins 
 C 
 To set you up on your feet again 
 Bm                           D 
 It wipes the tears from your eyes 
 C 
 How will you ever know 
 C 
 The way that circumstances go 
 Bm                            D 
 Always going to hit you by surprise 
   Am 
 I know my past 
 G/B 
 You were there 
    C               Em7 
 In everything I've done 
             Em 
 You are the one 
 
 Looking back it's hard to tell 
 Why they stood while others fell 
 Spend your life working it out 
 All I know is one cloudy day 
 They both just ran away 
 Rain on the windshield heading South 
 She loved the lines around his mouth 
 
 Chorus
