[Verse 1]
A#         D#            Gm
April showers finally making
    D#            A#       F
way for warmer weather
                          Gm    D#
But yet I still feel the same
 A#     D#            Gm
Doing yoga just to feel
    D#               A#       F
untethered but my mind keeps
          Gm    D#
Running away

[Pre-Chorus]
            Cm
Chasing hurricanes
                       D#
‘Cos I can’t feel the rain
                 A#
Second guess my pain
‘Cos I’ve been walking
            F
round in chains

[Chorus]
A#                        D#
 So won’t you give me a sign
 if you’re really there
Gm                     D#
 ‘Cos I’ve been lost inside
waiting on a prayer
A#
 Until I find your door
F
 Until the wind blows north
     Gm
I’m running and running
 D#
Running into hurricanes

[Verse 2]
A#       D#            Gm
Always wanted to be best
    D#
at everything
  A#         F
Even when it brings out
                 Gm    D#
the worst in myself
   A#    D#
So I create a storm and
    Gm
bury it deep
            D#       A#
Hiding the key in plain sight
F                     Gm
 Just in case I need help
 D#
Help!

[Pre-Chorus]
            Cm
Chasing hurricanes
                       D#
‘Cos I can’t feel the rain

[Chorus]
A#                        D#
 So won’t you give me a sign
 if you’re really there
Gm                     D#
 ‘Cos I’ve been lost inside
waiting on a prayer
A#
 Until I find your door
F
 Until the wind blows north
     Gm
I’m running and running
 D#
Running into hurricanes
A#
 So won’t you give me a
      D#
 ride, be my getaway
Gm                      D#
 I’m not the girl I tried to
be yesterday
A#
 Until I find your door
F
 Until the wind blows north
     Gm
I’m running and running
 D#
Running into hurricanes

[Instrumental]
 Gm   F  D#  F

[Bridge]
          Gm
I’m in a cyclone, spinning,
 crashed through the floor
               F#7
Don’t give me heaven, I’m flying
Tearing down the doors
          D#
of this city , oooh
              F
You know I’m running and running
 F
Running into hurricanes

[Chorus]
A#                        D#
 So won’t you give me a sign
 if you’re really there
Gm                     D#
 ‘Cos I’ve been lost inside
waiting on a prayer
A#
 Until I find your door
F
 Until the wind blows north
     Gm
I’m running and running
 D#
Running into hurricanes
A#
 So won’t you give me a ride,
 D#
 be my getaway
F
 I’m not the girl I
tried to be yesterday
Gm
 Until I find your door
Gm
 Until the wind blows north
     D#
I’m running and running
                   A#
Running into hurricanes
