[Verse]
N.C. Am
It's cold along the coast tonight
    Em             Am
The wind is on the rise
Am
There's a storm come up from Africa
        Em              Am
And it's tearing up the skies
    D               C
The sand from the Sahara
     G              D
Cuts deep into your skin
Am
Close your eyes so you cannot see
      Em              Am        Em
What's carried on the wind, the wind
       C       D      Am    Em  Am  Em  Am
What's carried on the wind

[Verse]
Am
People talk in whispers
Em                Am
People hide their eyes
Am
The wind blows ever stronger
      Em               Am
And it covers up their cries
     D              C         G
They close down the shutters
             D
They bar the door
    Am
The wind taps at the window
Em             Am         Em
Like a painted whore, the whore
C      D       Am
Like a painted whore

[Verse]
Am
I will hold you close tonight
Em              Am
I will keep you warm
Am
I will keep the dream alive
    Em                Am
And stand against the storm
   D            C    G
As long as I am able
           D
I will not bend
Am
I will be true to you
    Em              Am       Em
And faithful to the end, the end
    C        D      Am   Em  Am  Em  Am
And faithful to the end

[Verse]
Am
When the final bell is tolled
Em               Am
Will we shake in fear?
Am
Or raise our glass just one more time
   Em             Am
Pretend we didn't hear
   D                  C
We think that we're immortal
    G                  D
Somehow the song lives on
Am
Maybe whistled in the wind
     Em            Am       Em
When everything is gone, is gone
     C    D        Am
When everything is gone
