Intro:

A#m  Fm   Db   Fm


Verse 1:
A#m                            Fm
Winter knocked upon my door today
          Db               Fm
And in the wind, I heard your name
A#m                                      Fm
My mind has played these tricks on me before
            Db                  Fm
Somehow, this time, it meant much more

Chorus:
                         A#m
'Cause you were standing here
                   Db
When snow began to fall
                      D#m
The love I thought we shared
                        Gb
Promised it would never thaw
                         A#m
And I prayed it wouldn't change
                   Db      D#m
But, winter fades away
         Gb          A#m    Fm
Winter fades   I remain


Verse 2:
A#m                                  Fm
Swore you'd hold my hand 'til I grew old
              Db                Fm
Then slipped away   Where did you go?
A#m                                      Fm
And I never thought I'd face this on my own
         Db                       Fm
I miss your warmth   I'm left here cold


Chorus:
                         A#m
'Cause you were standing here
                   Db
When snow began to fall
                      D#m
The love I thought we shared
                        Gb
Promised it would never thaw
                         A#m
And I prayed it wouldn't change
                   Db      D#m
But, winter fades away
         Gb          A#m    Fm
Winter fades   I remain


Instrumental:
A#m  Fm   A#m  Fm
(pretty piano part)


Bridge:
A#m
Rain, it paints the rainbows
    A#m
And makes the roses red
A#m
When my scars have faded
    A#m
Let beauty take their stead
       A#m
'Cause I still stand here broken
Fm
Waiting for the spring
D#m
Maybe then the sunshine
     Gb
Will take these memories


Chorus:
N.A#.                     A#m
'Cause you were standing here
                   Db
When snow began to fall
                      D#m
The love I thought we shared
                        Gb
Promised it would never thaw
                         A#m
And I prayed it wouldn't change
                   Db      D#m
But, winter fades away
         Gb          N.A#.
Winter fades   I remain
