E                                          Dbm
Every night that goes between
A                    Dbm
I feel a little less
E                                       Dbm
As you slowly go away from me
A                    Gb                    Dbm
This is only another test

E                                       Dbm
Every night you do not come
A                    Gb                    Dbm
Your softness fades away
E                                       Dbm
Did I ever really care that much
A                    Gb                    Dbm
Is there anything left to say

A                    Gb                    E
Every hour of fear I spend
A           Gb          Dbm
My body tries to cry
A                    Gb                    E
Living through each empty night
A        Gb           Dbm
A deadly call inside

E                                       Dbm
I haven’t felt this way I feel
A B Dbm
Since many a years ago
E Dbm
But in those years and the lifetimes past
A E Dbm
I did not deal with the road
E Dbm
And I did not deal with you I know
E Dbm
Though the love has always been
E Dbm
So I search to find an answer there
A B Dbm
So I can truly win

A Gb E
Every hour of fear I spend
A Gb Dbm
My body tries to cry
A Gb E
Living through each empty night
A B Dbm
A deadly call inside

E Dbm
So I try to say good-bye my friend
A B Dbm
I’d like to leave you with something more
E Dbm
But never have I been a blue calm sea
A Gb Dbm
I have alwaays been a storm
A Gb Dbm
I have alwaays been a storm
A Dbm
Oh, always been a storm
A Gb E
I have always been a storm

Dbm
We were frail,
E
we were frail
Dbm
We were frail
E
We were frail

How to play Storms: key, chords and progression

Storms by Best Coast keeps coming home to E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). You need 5 chords: E, Dbm, A, Gb and B.

Most of the song cycles through Dbm – E – Dbm – A (vi – I – vi – IV in E major). In solfa, that is lah – doh – lah – fah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes D, Bm, G, E, A (80% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 40% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
