[Dm]Well when you told me you were drowning,

[Bb]I’ve seen your face before my friend,
[C]But I don’t know if you know who I am,


[Dm]But I was there and I saw what you did,
[C]Saw it with my own two eyes,
[Bb]So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you’ve been,
[C]It’s all been a pack of lies,

[Dm]But I know the reason why you keep this silence up, [C]
No you don’t fool me, [Bb]for the hurt doesn’t show,
But the pain still grows, some [C]stranger to you and me,


[Dm]I can feel it [C]coming in the air to[Bb]night, oh [C]lord,
[Dm]I’ve been waiting for this [C]moment, for all my [Bb]life, oh [C]lord,
[Dm]I can feel it [C]coming in the air to[Bb]night, oh [C]lord,
No you don’t fool me, [Bb]For the hurt doesn’t show,
But the pain still grows, Some [C]stranger to you and me,


[Dm]I can feel it [C]coming in the air to[Bb]night, oh [C]lord,
[Dm]I’ve been waiting for this [C]moment, for all my [Bb]life, oh [C]lord,
[Dm]I can feel it [C]coming in the air to[Bb]night, oh [C]lord,
