Verse 1:
D
It's storming out, maybe you should come inside
    D
And tell me why you don't wanna be alive
  Bm                       A
If you don't respond, I'll put my shoes on
 D
And lay down on the pavement next to you
     D                                      Bm
If we get struck, at least we'll make the news
       A
The news
 
Chorus:
 D
What a way to go out
D                                         Bm
Something this town will forever talk about
                               G
The two kids who were laying down
                                            D
And struck by lightning in front of your house
 
Verse 2:
 D
In the mud, sinking down
  D                              Bm
Thinking of everything I've to think about
                        A
You shut me up, look at the clouds
 
As lightning struck
 
Chorus:
 D
What a way to go out
D                                         Bm
Something this town will forever talk about
                               G
The two kids who were laying down
                                            D
And struck by lightning in front of your house
D
The kids out on the playground
 D                                           Bm
Years from now will say, did you ever hear about
                               G
The two kids who were laying down
G
And struck by lightning in front of your house
 
Bridge:
Em
Maybe on a sunny day
 D
You might have some things to say
            A
But if you don't, that's ok
 
Chorus:
 D
What a way to go out
D                                         Bm
Something this town will forever talk about
                               G
The two kids who were laying down
                                            D
And struck by lightning in front of your house
D
The kids out on the playground
 D                                           Bm
Years from now will say, did you ever hear about
                               G
The two kids who were laying down
                                             D
And struck by lightning in front of your house
 
Outro:
               Bm
As lightning struck
             G                                D
And struck by lightning in front of your house
