Chords used: Em, G, D, Am, C
Intro:
The intro sets the mood with a simple yet evocative progression of Em to G, repeated,
establishing the song's reflective tone.
Verse 1:
The verse starts with Em and G, painting vivid imagery of a couple caught in a metaphorical
storm, too late to escape but determined to withstand it together. The transition to Em and G
highlights the challenges faced, while D to C underscores their resolve not to give up.
Chorus:
The chorus shifts to Em, G, D, and Am, offering comfort and a promise to wait out the storm
together. The imagery of falling into each other's arms as they wait for the rain to die down,
and the mention of heartbeats as the only sound, emphasize the intimacy and strength of their bond.
Verse 2:
Similar to the first verse, the second verse uses Em and G to delve deeper into the couple's
connection, with the metaphor of being tangled in a tumbleweed representing the
complexities of their relationship. D to C again reinforces their determination.
Guitar Solo:
The guitar solo provides a musical interlude that reflects the song's themes, using Em,
C, and D, allowing for a moment of reflection before the final chorus.
Out-Chorus:
The out-chorus repeats the chorus's progression, reinforcing the song's message of
hope and steadfastness in the face of adversity. The repetition of "wait for the rain to die
down" serves as a gentle reminder of the power of patience and love.
Playing Tips:
Pay attention to the emotional delivery of the lyrics, letting the chords support the story
being told.
Use the dynamics of your playing to mirror the ups and downs described in the song,
especially during the transition from the verses to the chorus.
The guitar solo is a great opportunity to add your expressive touch, staying true to the
song's mood and theme.
Focus on the sense of comfort and assurance in the chorus, making it the emotional
climax of your performance.
