Dm F/C Bb Gm (X 5)

Dm F C Bb
And in the dark, it comes for me
Dm F C Bb
Malevolent and without thought
Dm F C Bb
Uprooting trees, destroying cars
Dm F C Bb Dm F
Cold and relentless, with arms outstretched

C Bb Dm F
No boat nor brick
C Bb
Nor crucifix can hold it back
Dm Dm Bb Gm
I’ve been wicked
Dm Dm Bb F
I’ve been arrogant

Dm F/C Bb Gm
And when it comes, it will feel like a kiss (Silent about it)
Dm F/C Bb Gm
And when it comes, it will feel like a kiss
Dm F/C Bb Gm
And I cannot say that I was not warned or was misled
Dm F/C Bb Gm
And when it comes, it will feel like a kiss

Dm F C
Awaken from dreams
Bb
Of drunken car crashes
Dm F C
You saddened my friends
Bb
And claimed all my lovers
Dm F C Bb
I tried to stay still, so it will not see
Dm F C Bb
Its talons rake, the side of my face
Dm Dm Bb Gm
Oh when did you become
Dm Dm Bb F
Such a slut

Dm F/C Bb Gm
And when it comes, it will feel like a kiss (Silent about it)
Dm F/C Bb Gm
And when it comes, it will feel like a kiss
Dm F/C Bb Gm
And I cannot say that I was not warned or was misled
Dm F/C Bb Gm Dm Bb
And when it comes, it will feel like a kiss


Bb F
And I didn’t think I’d catch fire
C Gm
When I held my hand to the flame
Bb F
And I didn’t think it would catch up
C Gm
As fast as I could have run
Bb F
Fate came a-knocking
C Gm
When I was looking the other way
Bb F C
A new disease came in the post
Dm F/C Bb Gm Dm F/C Bb Gm
For me today

Dm F/C Bb Gm
And when it comes, it will feel like a kiss
Dm F/C Bb Gm
And when it comes, it will feel like a kiss
Dm F/C
And when it comes
Bb Gm
And when it comes
Dm F/C
And when it comes
Bb Gm Dm \
And when it comes, it will feel like a kiss
