Intro

Verse 1
I went to work for her that [G]summer
A teenage kid so far from [Em]home
She was a lonely widow [C]woman
Hell-bent to make it on her [D]own
We were a thousand miles from [G]nowhere
Wheat fields as far as I could [Em]see
Both needing something from each [C]other
N[D]ot kn[Gsus2]owing yet what that might be[G]
Verse 2
'Til she came to me one even[G]evening
Hot cup of coffee and a sm[Em]smile
In a dress that I was c[C]certain
She hadn't worn in quite a w[D]while
There was a difference in he[G]her laughter
There was a softness in he[Em]her eyes
And on the air there wa[C]was a hunger
E[D]ven a[Gsus2] boy could recogniz[G]e
Chorus
[G]She had a need to feel the [D]thun[C]thunder
To chase the lightning from the [G]skies
To watch a storm with all its [C]wonder
Written in her lover's [D]eyes
She had to ride the heat of [Em]passion [D] [C]
Like a comet burning [G]bright
Rushing headlong in the [C]wind
Now where only dreams have [D]been
Burning both ends of the [G]night [Gsus2] [G]
Verse 3
That summer wind was all aro[G]around me
Nothing between us but the[Em]the night
When I told her that I'[C]I'd never
She softly whispered that's [D]alright
And then I watched her hands[G]hands of leather
Turn to velvet in a touch [Em]
There's never been a su[C]summer
[D]When I have e[Gsus2]ever learned so much[G]much
Chorus
[G]She had a need to feel the [D]thun[C]thunder
To chase the lightning from the [G]skies
To watch a storm with all its [C]wonder
Written in her lover's [D]eyes
She had to ride the heat of [Em]passion [D] [C]
Like a comet burning [G]bright
Rushing headlong in the [C]wind
Now where only dreams have [D]been
Burning both ends of the [G]night [Gsus2] [G]
Solo

Verse 4
I often think about that sum[G]summer
The sweat, the moonlight a[Em]and the lace
And I have rarely held [C]another
When I haven't seen her face[D]face
And every time I pass a whea[G]wheat field
And watch it dancing with [Em]the wind
Although I know it isn'[C]isn't real
I just can't help but f[G]feel
[D]Her hung[Gsus2]hungry arms agai[G]again
Chorus
[G]She had a need to feel the [D]thun[C]thunder
To chase the lightning from the [G]skies
To watch a storm with all its [C]wonder
Written in her lover's [D]eyes
She had to ride the heat of [Em]passion [D] [C]
Like a comet burning [G]bright
Rushing headlong in the [C]wind
Now where only dreams have [D]been
Burning both ends of the [G]night [Gsus2] [G]
Rushing headlong in the [C]wind
Now where only dreams have [D]been
Burning both ends of the [G]night [Gsus2] [G]
