[A] [Am] [D]
[G]
[D] I don't know why, but I know I won't stay.
There's a way that's pressing down.
Late at night, I can hear you.
I can hear the sound, [G]
even the noise you make when you sleep.
[D]
Can't zoom across the river so deep.
They know my [A] name, it's not full of them, [G] but they don't know where, they don't know [D]
where.
It's coming.
Where's the skill to do?
No one thinks before I could sleep.
[G] Yeah.
They [D]
know my name, it's not full of them, [G] but they don't know where, they don't know [D] where.
[G] It's coming.
[D] From where?
[G] But it's coming.
[D] Keeps coming.
It's so loud, I don't come home.
Please don't think I've left you alone.
[G] It's in place, and I'm sure when they die.
[D]
Can't come across a mountain so high.
[G] The same city where I go when I sleep.
[D] Can't zoom across the river so deep.
They [A] know my name, it's not full of them, but [G] they don't know where, they don't know where.
[D]
[G] It's coming.
[D] From where?
[G] But it's coming.
Keeps [D] coming.
[G] It's coming. [D] Keeps coming.
[G] [D] Coming.
