Intro: C

[C]Every night my dream's the same

Same old city with a different name

[Fadd9]Men are coming to take me away

I [C]don't know why but I know I can't stay

[C]There's a weight that's pressing down

Late at night you can hear the sound

[Fadd9]Even the noise you make when you sleep

[C]Can't swim across a river so deep

[Gsus4]They know my name, 'cause I [C/B]told it to them

But they [Am7]don't know where and they [Fadd9]don't know when

Knew its name just before I could speak, yeah

It's [Fadd9]coming, or [C]when but it's [Fadd9]coming

Keep the car [C]running

[C]If some night I don't come home

Please don't think I've left you alone

The [Fadd9]same place animals go when they die

You [C]can't climb across a mountain so high

The [Fadd9]same city where I go when I sleep

You [C]can't see across a river so deep

[Gsus4]They know my name, 'cause I [C/B]told it to them

But they [Am7]don't know where and they [Fadd9]don't know when[C]

It's [Fadd9]coming, oh [C]when is it [Fadd9]coming

Keep the car [C]running[Fadd9]
