[Intro]
Bm   D   A   Bm
[Verse 1]
BmStranded in this spooky Dtown
Stoplight is sAwaying and the phone lines are Bmdown
Snow is crackling Dcold
She took my Aheart, I think she took my Bmsoul
With the moon I Drun
Far from the Acarnage of the fiery Bmsun
[Interlude]
Bm   D   A   Bm
[Verse 2]
BmDriven by the strangle of vDein
Showing no mAercy, I'd do it agaBmin
Open up your Deyes
You keep on cryAing, baby I'll bleed you dBmry
Skies are blinking at Dme
I see a stoArm bubbling up from the seBmaD  
[Chorus]
And it's cAoming closerBm  D  
And it's cAoming closerBm  D  A  Bm  
[Verse 3]
BmYou who shimmy-shook my bDoat
Leaving me strAanded, all in love on my Bmown
Do you think of Dme
Where am I noAw and baby where do I slBmeep
Feels so good but I'm oDld
2000 yeAars of chasing taking its tBmollD  
[Chorus]
And it's cAoming closerBm  D  
And it's cAoming closerBm  D  
And it's cAoming closerBm  D  
And it's cAoming closer

And it's coming closer
