Intro

C

CEvery night my dream's the same

Same old city with a different name

Fadd9Men are coming to take me away

I Cdon't know why but I know I can't stay

CThere's a weight that's pressing down

Late at night you can hear the sound

Fadd9Even the noise you make when you sleep

CCan't swim across a river so deep

Gsus4They know my name, 'cause I C/Btold it to them

But they Am7don't know where and they Fadd9don't know when

Gsus4It's coming, when it's coming C

CThere's a fear I keep so deep

Knew its name just before I could speak, yeah

Fadd9Oh Oh Oh Oh C

Gsus4They know my name, 'cause I C/Btold it to them

But they Am7don't know where and they Fadd9don't know when C

It's Fadd9coming, or Cwhen but it's Fadd9coming

Keep the car Crunning

CIf some night I don't come home

Please don't think I've left you alone

The Fadd9same place animals go when they die

You Ccan't climb across a mountain so high

The Fadd9same city where I go when I sleep

You Ccan't see across a river so deep

Gsus4They know my name, 'cause I C/Btold it to them

But they Am7don't know where and they Fadd9don't know when C

It's Fadd9coming, oh Cwhen is it Fadd9coming

Keep the car Crunning Fadd9

Keep the car Crunning Fadd9

Keep the car Crunning Fadd9

Keep the car Crunning
