D 
It's close to midnight 
C9                            G 
There's a chill in the air 
D 
I long to touch you 
C9             G 
but I don't dare 
C9                        G 
there's a wall between us 
C9                            G 
there's a storm in the air 
C9                               G 
though you're lying beside me 
                        D 
It's like you're not even there 
 
                Em            D 
When the lightning strikes 
                             G 
I don?t want to be here 
                Em             D 
when the cold wind bites 
                             G 
I don't want to be here 
 
 
D 
Spend the days in silence 
C9               G 
Ooh it hurts me 
D                         
though we won't be talking 
          C9                     G 
I hear every word you say 
C9                    G 
Now the rain is falling 
C9                    G 
Like a million tears 
C9                              G 
Coming through my window 
       D 
To wash away the years
