’Twas Ein another Blifetime,A one of toil and Eblood When Eblackness was a Bvirtue and the Aroad was full of mud I Ecame in from the Bwilderness, a Acreature void of form E B A [ E ] “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
[Instrumental interlude] | E | B | A | E | | E | B | A | E | [Verse 2]
And Eif I pass this Bway again, Ayou can rest asEsured I’ll Ealways do my Bbest for her, on Athat I give my word In a Eworld of steel-eyed Bdeath, and men who are Afighting to be warm E B A [ E ] “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
[Instrumental interlude] | E | B | A | E | [Verse 3]
Not a Eword was spoke beBtween us, there was Alittle risk inEvolved E Everything up Bto that point had been Aleft unresolved E Try imagiBning a place where it’s Aalways safe and warm E B A [ E ] “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
[Instrumental interlude] | E | B | A | E | | E | B | A | E | % | [Verse 4]
I was Eburned out from exBhaustion, Aburied in the Ehail E Poisoned in the Bbushes an’ Ablown out on the trail E Hunted like a Bcrocodile, Aravaged in the corn E B A [ E ] “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
[Instrumental interlude] | E | B | A | E | | E | B | A | E | [Verse 5]
ESuddenly I Bturned around and Ashe was standin’ Ethere With Esilver bracelets Bon her wrists and Aflowers in her hair She Ewalked up to me so Bgracefully and Atook my crown of thorns E B A [ E ] “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
[Instrumental interlude] | E | B | A | E | | E | B | A | E | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Extra verse] – Alternate version from “Jerry Maguire – OST”)
ENow the bonds are Bbroken but Athey can be reEtied EOne more journey Bto the woods and the Aholes where spirits hide It’s a Enever ending Bbattle for a Apeace that’s always torn E B A [ E ] “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
[Instrumental interlude] | E | B | A | E | | E | B | A | E | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Verse 6]
Now tEhere’s a wall beBtween us, Asomethin’ there’s been Elost I Etook too much for Bgranted, I Agot my signals crossed EJust to think that it Ball began on a Along-forgotten morn E B A [ E ] “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
[Instrumental interlude] | E | B | A | E | | E | B | A | E | [Verse 7]
Well, the Edeputy walks on Bhard nails and the Apreacher rides a Emount But Enothing really Bmatters much, it’s Adoom alone that counts And the Eone-eyed underBtaker, he Ablows a futile horn E B A [ E ] “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
[Instrumental interlude] | E | B | A | E | | E | B | A | E | [Verse 8]
EI’ve heard newborn Bbabies wailin’ Alike a mournin’ Edove And Eold men with Bbroken teeth Astranded without love Do I Eunderstand your Bquestion, man, is it Ahopeless and forlorn? E B A [ E ] “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
[Instrumental interlude] | E | B | A | E | | E | B | A | E | [Verse 9]
In a Elittle hilltop Bvillage, they Agambled for my Eclothes I Ebargained for salBvation an’ she Agave me a lethal dose I Eoffered up my Binnocence and Agot repaid with scorn E B A [ E ] “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
[Instrumental interlude] | E | B | A | E | | E | B | A | E | [Verse 10]
Well, I’m Elivin’ in a foreign Bcountry but I’m Abound to cross the Eline EBeauty walks a Brazor’s edge, someAday I’ll make it mine If I could Eonly turn Bback the clock to when AGod and her were born E B A [ E ] “Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
