VERSE 1
Em /// /// G /// /// Em /// /// D /// /// Em /// /// C /// /// Em /// /// A/// ///
Long black train full of hobos coming from a distant town
They get off here and beg for help with their heads hung down

Angel on fire with a chainsaw breaking in the nursing home
C / / / / G / / / / Fmaj7 / / / / / / / / (ring)
Doctor never saw him go by, she was talking on the phone
(rest)
But he was coming on through. Nothing she could do
Turnaround

VERSE 2
Em /// /// G /// /// Em /// /// D /// /// Em /// /// C /// /// Em /// /// A/// ///
Heavy breathing and tea leaves cleaving to the refugees
Bulletproof babies in chain link cages look out at me.
C / / / / G / / / / Am / / / / / / / /
Watch the screen while leaning towers come crashing down
C / / / / G / / / / Fmaj7 / / / / / / / / (ring)
Pale horse rider gallops past the biggest house in town.
(rest) turnaround
Just coming through, no matter what we do.

VERSE 3
Em /// /// G /// /// Em /// /// D /// /// Em /// /// C /// /// Em /// /// A/// ///
Rotten smell from people not well in the air outside
Old people choking and young people smoking and they turn a blind eye.
C / / / / G / / / / Am / / / / / / / /
The Emperor’s clothes burned up in the dumpster fire
C / / / / G / / / / Fmaj7 / / / / / / / / (ring)
Smoke is rising and the sirens racing to the funeral pyre
(rest) turnaround
Watch out, they’re coming through! No matter what we do.

Break verse

Bridge Bm Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Everybody wants to know the reason why
Am Em B6/9/F#
Pointing at each another, looking at the sky
Em G Em D Em C Em A
Still coming through.

VERSE 4
Em /// /// G /// /// Em /// /// D /// /// Em /// /// C /// /// Em /// /// A/// ///
Preacher down in Texas says the Judgement day is coming on
The wrath is coming he said from his hundred million dollar throne
C / / / / G / / / / Am / / / / / / / /
He’s got the Good Book rolled up in his hand
C / / / / G / / / / Fmaj7 / / / / / / / / (ring)
But he’s the royal jester, he don’t understand
(rest) turnaround
What’s really coming through, no matter what they do.

VERSE 5
Em /// /// G /// /// Em /// /// D /// /// Em /// /// C /// /// Em /// /// A/// ///
I saw a dimly burning wick that somehow doesn’t die
A hero in the slaughterhouse who somehow stays alive
C / / / / G / / / / Am / / / / / / / /
Rises from the shadows that still linger here,
C / / / / G / / / / Fmaj7 / / / / / / / / (ring)
A beam of light pierces through the deepest fear,
(rest) Em G Em D Em C Em A 2x turnaround
And it’s coming through. No matter what I do.
It’s coming through for me and you.
