D#
Did we ever know where we were going?
A#                  F
Everytime I turn around, just another ghost
D#         A#      F
Misreading every feeling
D#
You would think I had the worst intentions
A#                  F
It was all fun and games but you'll never know
D#            A#        F
In clear view I could hear you

D#
On the phone
           Gm   F
But was it you alone?
       D#                             Gm
I was trying to find a reason why I'd ever
let it grow
F
(But she said)

Chorus:
  A#                   Gm  D# F
Who knew we were lightning?
          A#              Gm       D#           A# F
I saw a spark before we heard any sound to follow

I think it's time I let my eyes stay open
I'm missing out on the point if they're always
closed
Switch focus, now I know

This is worth my time
So can you read my mind?
It says I'm tryna find a reason why to leave
it all behind

So I'm out on a limb now
The path that we've been down
I fought through but somehow
I hear you say

Chorus:
Who knew we were lightning?
I saw a spark before we heard any sound
If you look my way instead
We can make this permanent
Is there something waiting to be found?
Who knew we were?

         D#
Now it's all making sense
                      Gm
In time we would find it
F      D#
I was caught in suspense
                       Gm
But with you I'm reminded
      F    D# A# F
It's real now

Chorus:
Who knew we were lightning?
I saw a spark before we heard any sound to follow

Who knew we were lightning?
I saw a spark before we heard any sound
If you look my way instead
We can make this permanent
Is there something waiting to be found?
There's still something waiting to be found
Who knew we were?
