The strum pattern should be fairly obvious Intro: Am, F, C (don’t hit the e and b strings) x4
Am                  A/F           A/G
   And in the dark it comes for me

Am          A/F           A/G 
   Malevolent and without thought

Am                 A/F         A/G
   Uprooting trees, destroying cars

Am                 A/F           A/G
   Cold and relentless, with arms outstretched

Am              A/F    A/G
   No boat nor brick

Am          A/F             A/G
   Nor crucifix can hold it back

          Am      A/F  A/G

    Am                                F    C       Cmaj9
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
(Same chords as previously) Awaken from dreams of drunken car crashes You saddened my friends and claimed all my lovers I tried to stay still, so it will not see Its talons rake the side of my face When did you become such a slut? And when it comes it will feel like a kiss (Silent about it) And when it comes it will feel like a kiss And I cannot say that I was not warned or was misled And when it comes it will feel like a kiss

And I didn’t think I’d catch fire when I held my hand to the flame
And I didn’t think it would catch up as fast as I could have run
Fate came a knocking when I was looking the other way

    A5                                F5    C5  G5
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss

    A5
And when it comes
And when it comes And when it comes
    F5       C5
And when it comes

    A5
And when it comes
And when it comes
                 F5       C5          Am
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
