A E
Now the sun was in my eyes

So forgive me if I was blind

Winter's finally broken

Realize I'm heading

For colder days

He can feel it on every breath

And something tells him it's the kiss of death

VERSE #2:
A E
You better button up your coat
D
Or it will catch you in the pit of the throat
A E
You can certainly feel the wind blow

When you're by yourself
A E
And when the snow has finally melted
D
You better think about who you shelter
A
'Cos one of these days
E D
It might just be someone else
BRIDGE #2:
Bm E
And he's searched underground and overground for a partner

Played his harmonica 'til his lips were raw

So far each year he's drawn the shortest straw
