[Verse 1]
D'Twas in another lifeAsus4time
G One of toil and blood D
When blackness was a virAsus4tue
The roadG was full of mud
DI came in from the wilAsus4derness
A Gcreature void of form
"Come Din," she said, "I'll give ya
Asus4 GShelter from the Dstorm"

[Verse 2]
D And Dif I pass this wayAsus4 again
GYou can rest assured D
I'll always do my bestAsus4 for her
On Gthat I give my word
In a Dworld of steeleyed Asus4death and men
Who are Gfighting to be warm
"Come Din," she said, "I'll give Asus4ya
GShelter from the Dstorm"
[Verse 3]
Asus4 G D Not a Dword was spoke betweenAsus4 us
There was Glittle risk involved D
Everything up to Asus4that point
Had been Gleft unresolved
D Try imagiAsus4ning a place
Where it's Galways safe and warm
"Come in,"D she said, "I'll Asus4give ya
GShelter from the Dstorm"

[Verse 4]
I wasD burned out from exAsus4haustion
GBuried in the hail
D Poisoned in the Asus4bushes
And blown Gout on the trail
D Hunted like a croAsus4codile
RaGvaged in the corn
D"Come in," she said, "I'll Asus4give ya
GShelter from the Dstorm"

[Verse 5]
D Suddenly I turnedAsus4 around
And sheG was standing there D
With silver bracelets onAsus4 her wrists
And floGwers in her hair
She walkedD up to me so graceAsus4fully
And Gtook my crown of thorns
D"Come in," she said, "I'll give Asus4ya
GShelter from the Dstorm"

[Verse 6]
DNow there's a wall betweenAsus4 us
GSomething there's been lost D
I took too much for granAsus4ted
I Ggot my signals crossed
DJust to think that it Asus4all began
On an unGeventful morn
D"Come in," she said, "I'll Asus4give ya
GShelter from the Dstorm"
Asus4 G D Asus4

[Verse 7]
D Well the Ddeputy walks on Asus4hard nails
And the Gpreacher rides a mount D
But nothing really matAsus4ters much
It's Gdoom alone that counts
And the Doneeyed undertaAsus4ker
He blowsG a futile horn
"Come in,"D she said, "I'll give Asus4ya
GShelter from the Dstorm

[Verse 8]
DI've heard newborn baAsus4bies wailing
LikeG a mourning dove D
And old men with Asus4broken teeth
StranGded without love
Do I Dunderstand your quesAsus4tion, then
Is it Ghopeless and forlorn
D"Come in," she said, "I'll Asus4give ya
GShelter from the Dstorm"

[Verse 9]
D In a Dlittle hilltop vilAsus4lage
They gamGbled for my clothes D
I bargained for salvaAsus4tion
And she Ggave me a lethal dose
I Doffered up my Asus4innocence
And I Ggot repaid with scorn
"Come Din," she said, "I'll Asus4give ya
GShelter from the Dstorm"

[Verse 10]
D Well, I'm Dliving in a foreign countAsus4ry
But I'm Gbound to cross the line D
Beauty walks a raAsus4zor's edge
SomeGday I'll make it mine
If I could Donly turn Asus4back the clock
To when GGod and her were born
"Come in,"D she said, "I'll Asus4give ya
GShelter from the Dstorm" Asus4 G
