[Verse]

Em
Nine hours passed and how long will it last
         C                       G
said the man with the plan and a gun in his hand.
Em
He´s scared but prepared it might be as he feared
         C                       G
are they still in control and safe behind the wall.
Em
This evening's too quiet oh we need a real riot
   C                         G
to shake and to break and to bite like a snake.
Em
We're stuck in this attic so bored and so static
  C                        G                     D     
tomorrow they'll ask us to throw off our maaaaaaasks.


[Chorus]

        Em         C                G        D
But the storm is a'coming 'cross the hills tonight
      Em           C            G                  D
like a vain full of rain to the hearts that should fight.
    Em         C                G        D
The storm is a'coming 'cross the hills tonight
      Em           C            G       D                 Em
like a vain full of rain to the heeeeaaaaarts that should fight.

[Verse]

Em
Mary's like me she's a loser to be
      C                      G
got a lock on her door and a bed on the floor.
Em
They will know they will win and then they'll come in.
        C                        G      
There's nothing you could say to lead them astray.
    Em
We still live in silence like sworn threats of violence.
  C                         G
I long for an end and it's coming round the bend.
      Em
If we live through this night and we'd still be allright.
     C                 G                  D
We'd flee to Siam or a bar in Amsterdaaaaaam.


[Chorus]

        Em         C                G        D
But the storm is a'coming 'cross the hills tonight
      Em           C            G                  D
like a vain full of rain to the hearts that should fight.
    Em         C                G        D
The storm is a'coming 'cross the hills tonight
      Em           C            G       D                 Em
like a vain full of rain to the heeeeaaaaarts that should fight.

[Chorus]

        Em         C                G        D
But the storm is a'coming 'cross the hills tonight
      Em           C            G                  D
like a vain full of rain to the hearts that should fight.
    Em         C                G        D
The storm is a'coming 'cross the hills tonight
      Em           C            G       D              
like a vain full of rain to the heeeeaaaaart.
    Em         C                G        D
The storm is a'coming 'cross the hills tonight
      Em           C            G       D                 Em
like a vain full of rain to the heeeeaaaaarts that should fight.
