  Bm                     D
Stranded in this spooky town
               A                              Bm
Stoplight is swaying and the phone lines are down
                   D
Snow is crackling cold
             A                          Bm
She took my heart, I think she took my soul
                 D
With the moon I run
              A                    Bm
Far from the carnage of the fiery sun

Driven by the strangle of vein
Showing no mercy, I'd do it again
Open up your eyes
You keep on crying, baby, I'll bleed you dry
Skies are blinking at me
I see a storm bubbling up from the sea

Chorus:
          A           Bm D
And it's coming closer
          A           Bm D A Bm
And it's coming closer

You who shimmy shook my bone
Leaving me stranded all in love on my own
Do you think of me?
Where am I now? Baby, where do I sleep?
Feels so good, but I'm old
Two thousand years of chasing taking it's toll

Chorus:
          A           Bm D
And it's coming closer
          A           Bm D
And it's coming closer
          A           Bm D
And it's coming closer
          A
And it's coming closer
