Intro: / A - - - / D – Asus2 - / E – Esus4 - / D - - - / (x2)

 

A                    D     Asus2

    I put on my overcoat and

E                 Esus4         D

walked into winter - my teeth chattered rhythms

A                                          D             Asus2
   And they were grouped in twos or threes, like a

E                   Esus4         D

Morse code message was sent from me to

A                                     D                  Asus2

Me.  And cars on slippery slopes were stuck: people

E                                Esus4      D

pushing through their mittens as I was beginning

A                              D               Asus2

   to feel it soaking through my shoes, getting

E                Esus4   D (x2 measures)
colder with every step i took to your apartment, dear.

Riff 1

 

A                         D     Asus2
    And I was a kaleidoscope: the

   E              Esus4      D

snow on my lenses distorting the image

A                            D       Asus2

    of what was only one of you and I

E                 Esus4        D (x2 measures)

didn't know which one to address as all your lips moved

(w/Riff 1)
and this is when I forget breathe

and all the things I scripted, they sound unfounded.
And the look that you're giving me,

That tells me exactly what you are thinking:
D7/6

"This ain't working anymore."

 

Repeat Intro


D5
They got their mothers worked into a panic

B5
sledding down hills into oncoming traffic

        D5
the parents layered clothes until the children couldn't move and then

B5

left them outside ‘til their noses were blue and

F#5   Dm/maj7

I got left there, too.
