C
It's storming out, maybe you should come inside
    Cmaj7
And tell me why you don't wanna be alive
   Dm7                     G
If you don't respond, I'll put my shoes on
    C
And lay down on the pavement next to you
   Cmaj7                                  Dm7
If we get struck, at least we'll make the news
     G
The news

[Chorus]
C
  What a way to go out
C                                        Am
  Something this town will forever talk about
                                   F
The two kids who were laying down
              F N.C.                     C      G
And struck by lightning in front of your house

[Verse 2]
C
In the mud, sinking down
Cmaj7                          Dm7
Thinking of everything I've to think about
                     G
You shut me up, look at the clouds

As lightning struck

[Chorus]
C
  What a way to go out
C                                        Am
  Something this town will forever talk about
                                   F
The two kids who were laying down
                                         C
And struck by lightning in front of your house

The kids out on the playground
C                                            Am
  Years from now will say did you ever hear about
                                   F
The two kids who were laying down
              F N.C.                     C
And struck by lightning in front of your house

[Bridge]
(C)        F
Maybe on a sunny day
                    Am
You might have some things to say
            G
But if you don't, that's ok

[Chorus]
C
  What a way to go out
C                                        Am
  Something this town will forever talk about
                                   F
The two kids who were laying down
                                         C
And struck by lightning in front of your house

The kids out on the playground
C                                            Am
  Years from now will say did you ever hear about
                                   F
The two kids who were laying down
              F N.C.                     C
And struck by lightning in front of your house

[Outro]
C                  Am
    As lightning struck
F                                          N.C.
  And struck by lightning in front of your house
