(Intro) Dm C
Dm C Dm C
You show up like a hurricane, all hungry-eyed and weather-stained
Dm C F
The clock forgets to tick and I the same
I died the day you disappeared, so why would you be welcome here?
Ride the wind that brought you back away
Gm
Bb F Dm
No you can't come in
Bb F
No you can't come in
( Dm C )
I cannot stop my rebel hands from pulling out the pots and pans
I left you in the cold until you shook
You're gentle now, but I recall both tender fire and bitter squall
A history so deep it hurts to look
Gm
Bb F Dm
No you can't come in
Bb F
No you can't come in

No you can't
Gm F
You can't come in

If the sea should swallow up my house
C
I will turn my rooftop inside out
Gm
and the wind will be wailing
Bb
But I will be sailing faster
Oh the elements I do not fear
but I fall apart when you appear
Cos you are the greatest
The greatest disaster
( F C Gm Bb ) (2x)
If the sea should swallow up my house
I will turn my rooftop inside out
and the wind will be wailing
But I will be sailing faster
( F )
