[Verse 1]
E B A E
’Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
E B A
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
E B A
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form
E B A [ E ]
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
[Instrumental interlude]
| E | B | A | E |
| E | B | A | E |
[Verse 2]
E B A E
And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
E B A
I’ll always do my best for her, on that I give my word
E B A
In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm
E B A [ E ]
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
[Instrumental interlude]
| E | B | A | E |
[Verse 3]
E B A E
Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved
E B A
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved
E B A
Try imagining a place where it’s always safe and warm
E B A [ E ]
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
[Instrumental interlude]
| E | B | A | E |
| E | B | A | E | % |
[Verse 4]
E B A E
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail
E B A
Poisoned in the bushes an’ blown out on the trail
E B A
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn
E B A [ E ]
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
[Instrumental interlude]
| E | B | A | E |
| E | B | A | E |
[Verse 5]
E B A E
Suddenly I turned around and she was standin’ there
E B A
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
E B A
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns
E B A [ E ]
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
[Instrumental interlude]
| E | B | A | E |
| E | B | A | E |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Extra verse] – Alternate version from “Jerry Maguire – OST”)
E B A E
Now the bonds are broken but they can be retied
E B A
One more journey to the woods and the holes where spirits hide
E B A
It’s a never ending battle for a peace that’s always torn
E B A [ E ]
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
[Instrumental interlude]
| E | B | A | E |
| E | B | A | E |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Verse 6]
E B A E
Now there’s a wall between us, somethin’ there’s been lost
E B A
I took too much for granted, I got my signals crossed
E B A
Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn
E B A [ E ]
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
[Instrumental interlude]
| E | B | A | E |
| E | B | A | E |
[Verse 7]
E B A E
Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
E B A
But nothing really matters much, it’s doom alone that counts
E B A
And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn
E B A [ E ]
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
[Instrumental interlude]
| E | B | A | E |
| E | B | A | E |
[Verse 8]
E B A E
I’ve heard newborn babies wailin’ like a mournin’ dove
E B A
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love
E B A
Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn?
E B A [ E ]
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
[Instrumental interlude]
| E | B | A | E |
| E | B | A | E |
[Verse 9]
E B A E
In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes
E B A
I bargained for salvation an’ she gave me a lethal dose
E B A
I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn
E B A [ E ]
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
[Instrumental interlude]
| E | B | A | E |
| E | B | A | E |
[Verse 10]
E B A E
Well, I’m livin’ in a foreign country but I’m bound to cross the line
E B A
Beauty walks a razor’s edge, someday I’ll make it mine
E B A
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
E B A [ E ]
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”
