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 
 
 
 
 
         Em          D
When the lightning strikes

Em         C
Oh can you feel it 
G        D             Em
there's a storm in the air 
         C       G  D
and it's getting nearer 
Em       C
when the cloud breaks 
G       D          C
I don't want to be here 
G            A
to feel the rain 
          D
feel the pain
