Lock me down, don’t ever let me go
       D                              Em7

Let me drown, in a pile of northern gold

  It flashes once I let it go

  Boredom, messy affairs (ah)
CM7          CM7*
  A table of empty chairs

Let me drown, in a pile of northern gold

Cause’ in my town, it’s not a pretty show

Best part of Winter is the middle of July

Before it dies

  It flashes once I let it go (once I let it go, I let it go)
G                                 C
After all these years I’ve lost my hope
