E                   B
I have never been a beautiful boy,
G#m                       F#
Never liked the sound of my own voice
E                         B
I wasn'’t cool when I was in my teens
G#m                  F#
I never slept but I did have dreams
E                          B
And as I step out in this big old world
G#m                 F#
Seven billion just tryin' to cope and
E                     B
Every one of us some day will die but
G#m                 F#
Today I never felt more alive

        C#m
Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it coming?

Can you feel it, feel it, feel it?

Chorus:
                      E B
Running through your bones?
                      E B
Running through your bones?
                G#m7
Yeah you set my heart on fire
        F#                     E F#
And it’s all hard-wired to my bones

I can count all the things I fear
I close my eyes but they don't disappear
If there's a god then there's a guarantee
But if there's not it's just you and me

Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it, feel it, feel it?

Chorus

    E                  B
So kiss me before the sun falls down
F#               G#m7
Run before your legs give way
  E              B
Swallow it all till you drown

Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it coming?
Can you feel it, feel it, feel it?
