The strum pattern should be fairly obvious

Intro: Am, F, C (don't hit the e and b strings) x4


Am (x02210@1)    A/F (102220@1)         A/G (302220@1)  And in the dark it comes for me
Am (x02210@1)        A/F (102220@1)         A/G (302220@1)   Malevolent and without thought
Am (x02210@1)               A/F (102220@1)       A/G (302220@1)  Uprooting trees, destroying cars
Am (x02210@1)               A/F (102220@1)         A/G (302220@1)  Cold and relentless, with arms outstretched

Am (x02210@1)            A/F (102220@1)  A/G (302220@1)  No boat nor brick
Am (x02210@1)        A/F (102220@1)           A/G (302220@1)  Nor crucifix can hold it back
          Am (x02210@1)    A/F (102220@1)A/GI've (302220@1)been wicked
          Am (x02210@1)    A/F (102220@1)A/GI've (302220@1)been arrogant

    Am (x02210@1)                              F (133211@1)  C (x32010@1)     Cmaj9And (x3243x@1)when it comes it will feel like a kiss

(Same chords as previously)

Awaken from dreams of drunken car crashes
You saddened my friends and claimed all my lovers
I tried to stay still, so it will not see
Its talons rake the side of my face

When did you become such a slut?

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss (Silent about it)
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
And I cannot say that I was not warned or was misled
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss

And I didn't think I'd catch fire when I held my hand to the flame

Fate came a knocking when I was looking the other way
