A,   Em,   G,   G  
Cold lips, cold hands,
Cold feet on the street
There's no shelter from
The heart's beat
Faster and faster,
The winds blow down from the north,
Sweeping these streets
Like ghosts on a march to war
A march to war
Outside, there's a silhouette,
Changing her name,
Changing her face
Every time I look away
We sway in the yellow light
With no more strength to fight
ASo many Emdreams tGhat fade aAway,
ASo many Emlives we juGst can't sAave
EmIf you wanted Bmthis so Gbad,
GThen why do we stand like we do
In the doorway?
ACome in, cEmome in,G  
ACome in, cEmome in,G  
[Chorus:]
GCome in,
I Bmnever wanted anything like EmI want yAou
GCome in,
I Bmnever wanted anything like EmI want Ayou
Like I want you...A  Em  G  A  
ASo many Emdreams tGhat fade aAway,
ASo many Emlives we juGst can't sAave
EmIf you wanted Bmthis so Gbad,
GThen why do we stand like we do
In the doorway?
AIf this is Emit, then why Gdo I waAit?
AAll tangled Emup in the sGtrings of fAate
If EmI wanted tBmhis so bGad,
GThen why do I stand like I do?
[Chorus]
A, Em, G, A  
Come in, come in, come in,
Come in, come in, come in,
Come in, come in, come in,
Come in, come in, come in

A Em G G

, , ,

Cold lips, cold hands,

Cold feet on the street

There's no shelter from

The heart's beat

Faster and faster,

The winds blow down from the north,

Sweeping these streets

Like ghosts on a march to war

A march to war

Outside, there's a silhouette,

Changing her name,

Changing her face

Every time I look away

We sway in the yellow light

With no more strength to fight

A Em G A

So many dreams that fade away,

A Em G A

So many lives we just can't save

Em Bm G

If you wanted this so bad,

Then why do we stand like we do

In the doorway?

A Em G

Come in, come in,

A Em G

Come in, come in,

[Chorus:]

Come in,

Bm Em A

I never wanted anything like I want you

Come in,

Bm Em A

I never wanted anything like I want you

A Em G A

Like I want you...

A Em G A

So many dreams that fade away,

A Em G A

So many lives we just can't save

Em Bm G

If you wanted this so bad,

Then why do we stand like we do

In the doorway?

A Em G A

If this is it, then why do I wait?

A Em G A

All tangled up in the strings of fate

Em Bm G

If I wanted this so bad,

Then why do I stand like I do?

[Chorus]

A Em G A

Come in, come in, come in,

Come in, come in, come in
