[Intro] C F C

[Verse 1]
F
We had a difficult winter
We had rough few months
C
When the storms came in off the coast
It felt like they broke everything on us at once

F
It's easy enough to talk about blissed spirit
When you're not holding the roof up and knee deep in it
C
And the pictures and the papers got ruined by the rain
And we wondered if they'd ever get dry again

[Chorus]
Am G F
But I don't want spend the whole of my life indoors
Laying low, waiting on the next storm
But I don't want spend the whole of my life inside
Am G C
I wanna step out, and face the sunshine

[Solo] C

[Verse 2]
F
We lost faith in the omens
We lost faith in the gods
C
We just ended clutching at these empty rituals
Like gamblers clutching long odds

F
I don't care what the weatherman is saying
Because the last time that I saw him he was on his needs knees, he was praying
C
And the preachers and the scientists got soaked just the same
And they wondered if they'd ever get dry again

[Chorus]
Am G F
But I don't want spend the whole of my life indoors
Laying low, waiting on the next storm
But I don't want spend the whole of my life inside
I wanna step out, and face the sunshine

[Bridge]
C Dm*
So open the shutters, raise up the mast
Am G F
Rejoice, rebuild, the storm has passed
C Dm
Cast off the crutches, cut off the cast
Am G F
Rejoice, rebuild, the storm has passed (x2)

[Chorus]
Am G F
But I don't want spend the whole of my life indoors
Laying low, waiting on the next storm
But I don't want spend the whole of my life inside
I wanna step out, and face the sunshine

[Outro]
Am G F
I'm not gonna live the whole of my life indoors
I'm gonna step out, and face the next storm

Dm* is some variant on a C slid up 2 frets - anybody know?
