Squeeze - Sound Asleep Chords

[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
