Chords with lyrics

verse 1
B minorBm   A major 6A6
I was a child-
  Gadd2
An open letter
B minorBm     A major 6A6     Gmaj7Gmaj7
To be read aloud to the throng
B minorBm     A major 6A6    Gadd2
Caught in a spell of stormy weather
B minorBm    A major 6A6     Gadd2
Mnemonic lines to the fore

B minorBm     A major 6A6    Gadd2
Whatever it is that's kept us together-
B minorBm       A major 6A6     Gmaj7Gmaj7
I look to the sky and it's gone
B minorBm      A major 6A6     Gadd2
Save one for me and I'll never forget you-

B minorBm      A major 6A6     Gadd2
You're coming alive in the cold-
B minorBm   A major 6A6     Gadd2
Coming alive in the cold
B minorBm   A major 6A6     Gadd2
Coming alive in the cold

(And I say-)


Instrumental B minorBm A major 6A6 Gadd2 x4


verse 2
B minorBm   A major 6A6    Gadd2
So in a haze of feverish lights
B minorBm     A major 6A6      Gadd2
The satyr arrives to the throne
B minorBm     A major 6A6        Gadd2
We'll come together when the feeling's right-


B minorBm      A major 6A6     Gadd2
You're coming alive in the cold-
B minorBm   A major 6A6     Gadd2
Coming alive in the cold
B minorBm   A major 6A6     Gadd2
Coming alive in the cold
