INSTRUCTIONS

  • Students enjoy the physical involvement of this exercise.  Confident students should either work alone, or be teamed with weaker students.

  • Cut the photocopy into strips as indicated.  Instruct students to scatter the pieces in front of them, so they can read them easily.
  • Play the song at an appropriate speed to suit students' ability.

TIP:  To make the strips more user-friendly and to preserve them for future use, laminate the photocopied sheets before cutting.  If making more than one set, use different coloured paper for each set.

Thunder in My Heart
Writers: Leo Sayer & Tom Snow

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Am I in too deep or should I swim to the shore

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

And I feel a thunder in my heart that I can't control

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

And there you are with the love light in your eye

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

'Cos what's happening right now may make or break us

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Do just what you want to do with my love

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Do you feel the way I do?

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Every time you touch me my love falls like rain

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

I don't know but I've never been here before

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

I feel a thunder in my heart

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

I feel a thunder in my heart

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

I know you're here to stay

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

I'm coming through

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Is this the real thing?

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

It takes my breath away

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

It's telling me you're here to stay

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

I've only known you for an hour or more

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Let's not let the night overtake us

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Oh no, oh no

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Oh no, oh no

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Open up your heart now baby

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Should I walk away or follow my soul?

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Since I met you I'll never be the same

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Since I met you, I'll never be the same

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Standing here alone with you

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Take me baby; I'm all yours

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Taking my breath away

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Taking my breath away

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

The bridges are burnt down

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

The time is standing still

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

There's a fire inside me I can't explain

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

There's a howling wind that I just can't control

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

There's a storm raging deep in my soul

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

There's a thunder in my heart (x4)

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

There's a thunder in my heart

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

There's a thunder in my heart

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

There's a thunder in my heart

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Where it comes from I just don't know

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Will I ever be the same?

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Wondering what it is that I'm supposed to do

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Your arms are open wide

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Your love has opened up the door

#- - - - - - - - - - - - -
