Intro: G A7 C x4
verse 1:
G A7 C
I watch the words fall
G A7 C
out of your mouth
G A7
As it’s been two hours
C
and you still can’t
G A7 C
tell me And our
G A7 C
winter bones are
G A7 C
growing stronger
G A7
Every time you answer
C G A7 C
questions in circles
[Refrão]
G A7 C
You won’t say what
G A7 C
you’ve been thinking
G
But you tell me
A7
in glances and
C G A7 C
handwritten letters
Post-Chorus: G A7 C x4
verse 2:
G A7 C
And I’m reluctant
G A7 C
to believe you As
G A7
the sky outside is
C
a familiar shade of
G A7 C G A7
pink Cuz while you
C
were sleeping I felt
G A7 C
your heart beating
G A7
So I laid my head
C
down and tried not
G
to think about not
A7 C
waking up in your arms
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Interlude: G A7 C (x4)
verse 2:
G A7 C
And after everything
G A7 X
just closing my eyes
G A7
Makes me feel better
C G A7 C
than you ever could
G A7
So with your morning
C G
broken and your heart
A7 C
ripped wide open You’ll
G A7
look back on winter and
C
you’ll think about
G
me and how I woke
A7 C
up in your arms
[Refrão]
G A7 C
You won’t say what
G A7 C
you’ve been thinking
G
But you tell me
A7
in glances and
C
handwritten letters
G A7
And I heard you talk
C
in your sleep
G A7 C
I can’t read you
G A7 C
I can’t see you
G A7 C
And I’m afraid that
G A7 C
this isn’t over
(Repeat)
Outro: G(hold)
