D5 
It's close to midnight 
C5                            G5 
There's a chill in the air 
D5 
I long to touch you 
C5             G5 
but I don't dare 
C5                        G5 
there's a wall between us 
C5                            G5 
there's a storm in the air 
C5                               G5 
though you're lying beside me 
                        D5 
It's like you're not even there 
 

                E5            D5 
When the lightning strikes 
                             G5 
I don't want to be here 
                E5             D5 
when the cold wind bites 
                             G5 
I don't want to be here 
 
 
D5 
Spend the days in silence 
C5               G5 
Ooh it hurts me 
D5                         
though we won't be talking 
          C5                     G5 
I hear every word you say 
C5                    G5 
Now the rain is falling 
C5                    G5 
Like a million tears 
C5                              G5 
Coming through my window 
       D5 
To wash away the years 
 
 
                E5            D5 
When the lightning strikes 
                             G5 
I don't want to be here 
                E5             D5

I don't want to be here 
 

E5              C5 
Oh can you feel it 
G5           D5                  E5 
there's a storm in the air 
             C5         G5   D5 
and it's getting nearer 
E5           C5 
when the cloud breaks 
G5         D5              C5 
I don't want to be here 
G5               A5 
to feel the rain 
              D5 
feel the pain
