Chords

(Difford/Tilbrook) From the 1995 studio album, Ridiculous. [Intro] E | E | E | E | [Verse 1]
Am
Tonight there's wind

                D
Tonight there's rain

F                             E
Tonight I sleep with myself a-gain

Am                        G
I punch the pillow into a mound

F                                 E
With this frustration that I have found
[Verse 2]
Am
Today I hoped

        G
Today I heard

F
There's still no contact

         E
Still no word
[Chorus]
          Am
I want to hear the front door slam

           G
I want you back to hold my hand

                C
Tonight there's hope you'll comfort me

          E
All I can do is wait and see

       F             C
But my eyes begin to close

   F                C
As footsteps softly creep

        F        E
To find me sound asleep
[Verse 3]
Am
Tonight there's pain

                G
Tonight there's fear

F                                E
Tonight it's cold now you're not here

Am                            G
The sound of tyres out in the wet

F                               E
That's as close to you as I can get

Am                             G
No turning handle on our front door

F                              E
The more I hate you I want you more
[Chorus]
          Am
I want to hear the front door slam

           G
I want you back to hold my hand

                C
Tonight there's hope you'll comfort me

          E
All I can do is wait and see

       F             C
But my eyes begin to close

   F                C
As footsteps softly creep

        F        E
To find me sound asleep
[Outro] E | E | E | E
   E
To-night there's wind
[Keep playing E chord until fade]
