F#
Here comes the flood
                     A#m C#
Can you feel the love
 G#
Washing over you
A#m     C#   G#
Like a tidal wave inside of you
F#
Here comes the night
F#                    A#m C#
Can you see the light
  G#
Shining like the sun
 A#m         C#
You want to hide but
      G#
It's got you on the run

A#m
 Every word you say
    C#
Is taking your breath away

Chorus:
  G#
Cry, the demons that you hide
Screaming through the night
They won't forget you
        F#                              C#
Coming down, coming down, coming down, coming down
 G#
Need, the circus you got to feed
The wound that never heals
It don't let go
        F#                              C#
Coming down, coming down, coming down, coming down

She's here again
Your only friend
Watching over you
She never takes her eyes away from you
She's wide awake
As she lies in wait
Your chosen bride
A mother, a lover, a kick inside

Every single day
Is taken your breath away

Chorus

              G#                      F#
It's been so long, since I've come undone
         G#                F#
Slipping in to my second skin, to my second skin

Chorus
