In The Air Tonight

Words & Music:

Phil Collins

 

Em            D                   C           D

I can feel it coming in the air tonight.  Oh, Lord.

And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life.  Oh, Lord.

Em              D                   C           D          Em

Can you feel it coming in the air tonight?  Oh, Lord.  Oh, Lord.

 

         Em                               D

Well, if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand.

     C                                            Em

I've seen your face before my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am.

Well, I was there and I saw what you did, saw it with my own two eyes.

So, you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been,

It's all been a pack of lies.

 

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight.  Oh, Lord.

And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life.  Oh, Lord.

I can feel it comin' in the air tonight.  Oh, Lord.

And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life.  Oh, Lord.  Oh, Lord.

 

Will I remember?  I'll remember don't worry.  How could I ever forget?

It's the first time, the last time we ever met.

But, I know the reason why you keep your silence up; no, you don't fool me.

The hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows,

It's no stranger to you or me.

 

I can feel it coming in the air tonight.  Oh, Lord.

Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life.  Oh, Lord.

I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord.  Oh, Lord,

Well, I've been waiting for this moment all my life.  Oh, Lord.
