[First Verse]
E
I'll keep on pushing through the absence
E
Guess I'm better off alone
C#m C#m
Throw my head inside the rafters just to make me feel at home
E
And I’ll lift myself up
E C#m
Suppose my back will break the fall to maybe straighten some things out
C#m
And force my head to take the blows
 
[Pre-Chorus]
B E
I’ve been trying to scratch at the surface
C#m C#m
Can’t wrap my head around the thought that anything’s worth this
B Emaj7
Lying alone
E C#m7
Except I’m not alone and there’s every where to go
C#m B
But still I’ll hit my peaks and somehow end up at my low
B
(And I’ll break myself)
 
[Chorus]
Emaj7 C#m
Break myself down the only way I know how
Bm
Neglect the notion I’m somebody else
E
Winter stay
C#m D#m E
Through you I can feel the same even though I’ve changed
 
[Second Verse]
E C#m
Re-purpose the thoughts I just refrain
C#m
And Let this anxious body lay to rest
E E
I’m confiding with the surface
C#m C#m
Only saturate my lies enough to find another purpose
E E
And I’ll break through all the doors they try to bind me to
C#m C#m
To come around and realize that all the hinges come unscrewed, I’m bound to lose
 
[Chorus]
Emaj7 C#m
Break myself down the only way I know how
Bm
Neglect the notion I’m somebody else
E
Winter stay
C#m D#m
Through you I can feel the same even though I’ve changed
 
[Third Verse]
E
And I’ve been running up the ends I’ll never catch
C#m
When the part of me I loved is dead
 
I guess that’s where this ends
D#m E
When I see that part of you then I don’t know even who you are
C#m
I look at the canvas of this person from afar
D#m E
(I don't even know who you are)
 
[Refrain]
D# E
It’s like I never even knew you at all
G#m E
Can’t help that I’m just here to see when you fall
 
E G#m E C#m
E G#m E C#m
E
 
[Chorus]
Emaj7 C#m
Break myself down the only way I know how
Bm
Neglect the notion I’m somebody else
E
Winter stay
C#m D#m
Through you I can feel the same even though I’ve changed
 
Emaj7 C#m
Why do I push my luck when it’s all on you?
Bm
Collect my empty weight and start anew
E
So I can’t stay
C#m
We both know it’s better this way
D#m
It's better this way
 
E C#m E C#m
 
[Outro]
Emaj7
Winter Stay
C#m
We both know it'd end up this way
 
(There's nothing I can do, but get upset with truth)
Emaj7 C#m7
So I'll stay in pieces you left broke and frayed
Emaj7
We both knew it'd end up this way
 
C#m
Emaj7
C#m7 C#m
