Weather the Storm

The narrator ponders on the logic of letting his ex-wife back into his life.
CHORDS & LYRICS
(C) I was feeling (F) right as (G) rain
But you came in like a (C) storm cloud once a(F)gain
You stole my thunder
As you (G) threw caution to the (C) wind
Now I'm (F) under the (G) weather
Since (Am) we got back to(F)gether
I should have (G) taken a rain check when you (C) grinned
But now I've got to (F) weather the storm
Stop chasing (C) rainbows every morn
Ac(Am)cepting you back was a big mis(G)take
I know that I (F) never will con(C)form
To what you (Am) see is the (G) norm
Loving (F) you will only (G) lead to more heart(C)ache
(C) I'd saved up for a (F) rainy (G) day
But you took it all and (C) ran a(F)way
Black clouds gathered
When(G)ever I thought of (C) you
But then you (F) breezed back into my (G) life
As the re(Am)pentant, guilty (F) wife
(G) Cleared the fog, but left me feeling (C) blue
CHORUS
(C) I thought it would be (F) sunshine now for (G) good
Guess I (C) hadn't under(F)stood
Forgiveness may not (G) lead to real changed (C) ways
I was caught up in the (F) blizzard of your (G) smile
Thought you'd stay (Am) faithful for a (F) while
Pretty (G) soon I saw the end of that (C) phase
CHORUS

That's a freakin' tsunami of weather references you've included in this gem of a song, Berni.

Damn, I could have got "a Tsunami of emotions" in there too! 😜😜

[@AndrewMorsePDX]

Berni! You win in the number of references department hands down. Loved the “blizzard of your smile”. Top shelf!

[@berniarmstrong]

Ah yes, I was proud of that one too.

Nice one, Berni! I love how you belt it out near the end... feeling and sharing that strong emotion and letting the storm out a bit. 🌬

😂 it occured to you to not let the rainwater collect in the uke? 😂You're a fun, cool songwriter, Berni. I do enjoy watching your little comedy sketches at the end of each video.😊
Clever lyrics and wonderful performance as always!

I should have been a clown 😜. Glad you stay to the end. Those little episodes are for those who do. 😘
