Lyrics

I can feel it com ing in the air to night,

oh Lord.

And I’ve been wait ing for this (C)mo ment for all my life,

oh Lord.

Can you feel it com ing in the air to night,

oh Lord,

oh Lord?

Well, if you told me you were drown ing,

I (Am)would not lend a hand.

I’ve (Bb)seen your face be fore, my friend, but I don’t (F)know if you know who I am.

Well, (Dm)I was there and I saw what you did.

I (Am)saw it with my own two eyes.

So you can (Bb)wipe off that grin.

I know where you’ve been.

It’s (F)all been a pack of lies.

And I can feel it com ing in the air to night,

oh Lord.

Well, I’ve been wait ing for this (C)mo ment for all my life,

oh Lord.

I can feel it com ing in the air to night,

oh Lord.

Well, I’ve been wait ing for this (C)mo ment for all my life,

oh Lord.

oh Lord.

Well, I re mem ber,

I re mem ber, don’t wor ry.

How could I ev er for get?

It’s the (Bb)first time,

the last time we (F)ev er met.

But I know the rea son why you keep the si lence up.

No, you don’t fool me.

The (Bb)hurt does n’t show,

but the pain still grows.

It’s no (F)stran ger to you or me.
