Verse 1 :

Bm                 D/A    Bm                   D/A ( Single D and C# Note )
She sits among the pieces of broken glass and photographs
Bm             D/A        G                   F#
Reluctantly releases the last of what was her past
Bm                   D/A   Bm                 D/A
It struck without a warning or did she just ignore the signs
Bm                    D/A       G              F#
In those dark clouds forming behind her silver lines

Refrain :

        G                      A               F#                   Bm
And the door it slammed like thunder, and the tears they fell like rain
A        G                 A            F#         Bm
And the warnings from her family whirl like a hurricane
A          G           A               F#               Bm
Oh she's drowning in emotions and she cannot reach the shore
A       G                  F#
She's alive but can she survive the Storm

Fill : | Bm  - - - | D/A - - - | Bm - - - | D/A - - - | Strum the last chord

Verse 2 :

Bm                  D/A   Bm             D/A
A broken jewel box dancer lies in pieces down the hall
Bm                     D/A            G               F#
She's finding out the answers don't change nothing at all
Bm                          D/A      Bm                    D/A
It's time that she stopped searching for who's to blame or what went wrong
Bm                  D/A             G                      F#
The only thing for certain is he's gone, she's got to move on

Refrain :

         G                      A               F#                   Bm
Then the door was slammed like thunder, and the tears they fall like rain
A        G                 A            F#         Bm
And the warnings from her family whirl like a hurricane
A          G           A               F#               Bm
Oh she's drowning in emotions but she cannot reach the shore
A       G                  F#
She's alive but can she survive the Storm

Bridge :

D                         A            A/C#
Someday days just roll on by without a gray cloud in the
Bm              Bm/A            G              A   ( Bm  A/C# )
sky, she keeps telling herself "I will make it on my own" and her
D                                       A              A/C#
Friend's they've all gone back to their lives thinking she will be all
Bm           Bm/A               G               F#
right as she races through the night to make it home

Refrain :

        G                      A               F#                   Bm
And the door it slamms like thunder, and the tears they fall like rain
A        G                 A            F#         Bm
And the warnings from her family whirl like a hurricane
A          G           A               F#               Bm
Oh she's drowning in emotions but she cannot reach the shore
A       G                  F#
She's alive but can she survive  The Storm

Outro :

Bm                 D/A    Bm                   D/A
She sits among the pieces of broken glass and photographs
Bm             D/A        G                   F#
Reluctantly releases the last of what was her past



Comments : I hope that this transcription comes pretty close to the original
recording. The D/A Chord can be also played as a Bm7/A Chord on the piano.
But to make the song easier you can also go on and play a standard A Chord
instead of the D/A Chord. Doesn't sound much different, but is quite a lot
easier to play.
