I'll take the winter

Oh, I'll take the cold

Chorus 1:
A minorAm              FF
  It's coming up through the water
    A minorAm                   FF
How it got down there well, hell, I'll never know
A minorAm              FF
  Well you better stake your corner
      A minorAm               FF   F/E
Choose your colours carefully as you well know

For at the end it's all, it's all, it's all I know

Verse 3:
C majorC         FF
Oh, oh my skin is thin now

Within these paper hands
         G7G7
Well I'm much too weak to stand

Verse 4:
  C majorC            FF
And how, how the light gets in now

Open the window
            G7G7
While I feel it upon my pasty brow

Chorus 1:
A minorAm              FF
  It's coming up through the water

How it got down there well, hell, I'll never know
A minorAm              FF
  Well you better stake your corner
        A minorAm               FF   F/E
And choose your colours carefully as you well know
      D7D7                  G7G7
For at the end it's all, it's all, it's all I know

Verse 5:
C majorC            FF
  So what, what have I left here?

What have I built here
           G7G7
To stand up when I'm gone?

Chorus 2:
         A minorAm
Oh no, not long now
              FF
It’s coming up through the water
      A minorAm                   FF
And how it got down there well, hell, I'll never know
A minorAm                FF
  Well the dogs bark from their corners
    A minorAm          FF   F/E
And the whistle is about to go

For at the end it's all, it's all, it's all I know
