Gm Nine hours passed and how long will it last Bb C (D) says the man with the plan and a gun in his hand. Gm He's scared but prepared it might be as he feared Bb C (D) are they still in control, and safe behind the wall. Gm This evening's too quiet, oh we need a real riot Bb C (D) to shake and to break and to bite like a snake. Gm We're stuck in this attic so bored and so static, Bb C D tomorrow they'll ask us to throw off our masks. Gm (Bb) But the storm is a'coming 'cross the hills tonight, Eb Bb F like a vein full of rain to the hearts that should fight. Gm Bb The storm is a'coming 'cross the hills tonight, Eb Bb F Gm like a vein full of rain to the hearts that should fight. [Main theme 1x] Gm Mary's like me she's a loser to be, Bb C (D) got a lock on her door and a bed on the floor. Gm They will know they will win and then they'll come in. Bb C (D) There's nothing you could say to lead them astray. Gm We still live in silence like sworn threats of violence. Bb C (D) I long for an end and it's coming round the bend. Gm If we live through this night and we'd still be all right. Bb C D We'd flee to Siam or a bar in Amsterdam. Gm Bb But the storm is a'coming 'cross the hills tonight, Eb Bb F like a vein full of rain to the hearts that should fight. Gm Bb The storm is a'coming 'cross the hills tonight, Eb Bb F Gm like a vein full of rain to the hearts that should fight.
