Verse 1 (continue to play acoustic strummed riff): 

I saw lightning coming from the street

You were trembling, hearing your heartbeat

Leaned in closer, let me kiss you on the cheek

Singing to you softly, singing to you sweet

Chorus (just acoustic strummed):
                                        
I wanna care for you when you are all alone
                                     
Sit inside our house and unplug all our phones
                                        
Watching raindrops stream down on our windowsill

Let’s be in love

(Repeat Intro riff:)

Verse 2 (continue acoustic strummed):

Take a walk, take me in your hands

Hear the wind blow, pretend we’re in Japan

I saw lightning, coming from the street

You reached out and it didn’t startle me

Chorus 2(just acoustic strummed):
                                       
I wanna care for you when you are all alone
                                     
Sit inside our house and unplug all our phones
                                        
Watching raindrops stream down on our windowsill

Let’s be in love

(play intro riff)
Doooo-hmmmmmmm-mmmmmmmmm---ooooooo

End on a strummed A.
