[Intro]
E | E | E | E |
[Verse 1]
Am
Tonight there's wind
D
Tonight there's rain
F E
Tonight I sleep with myself a-gain
Am G
I punch the pillow into a mound
F E
With this frustration that I have found
[Verse 2]
Am
Today I hoped
G
Today I heard
F
There's still no contact
E
Still no word
[Chorus]
Am
I want to hear the front door slam
G
I want you back to hold my hand
C
Tonight there's hope you'll comfort me
E
All I can do is wait and see
F C
But my eyes begin to close
F C
As footsteps softly creep
F E
To find me sound asleep
[Verse 3]
Am
Tonight there's pain
G
Tonight there's fear
F E
Tonight it's cold now you're not here
Am G
The sound of tyres out in the wet
F E
That's as close to you as I can get
Am G
No turning handle on our front door
F E
The more I hate you I want you more
[Chorus]
Am
I want to hear the front door slam
G
I want you back to hold my hand
C
Tonight there's hope you'll comfort me
E
All I can do is wait and see
F C
But my eyes begin to close
F C
As footsteps softly creep
F E
To find me sound asleep
[Outro]
E | E | E | E
E
To-night there's wind
[Keep playing E chord until fade]
