Intro:
Em D C G x2

Verse 1:
Em         D
Winter is over
    C            G
I think I got closure
    Em           D
I mean, I got closer
     C        G
Than I was before
Em          D
All of my lessons
     C        G
So painfully sober
Em
You prefer
D

Learning them
C           G
The night before
N.C.
Yes, you do

Em D C G x2

Verse 2:
Em         D
Everything I know
   C          G
I owe to perspective
      Em       D
It's not as if you
         C            G
Weren't dancing all night

Em          D
Everything you know
     C         G
You owe to forgiveness
      Em             D
Like, if you don't call me
     C         G
I'm not gonna die
         Em            D
Alright? If you don't call me
     C          G
I’m not gonna cry
N.C.
No, I ain't

Em D C G x2

Chorus:
    Em             D
But one two three, one two three
C               G
I don't mean a word of it
Em            D
Counting my breaths
         C              G
And the steps to your house


    Em             D
But one two three, one two three
C               G
I don't mean a word of it
 Em          D
Wonder how long until
     C         G
You figure me out

Or not

Em D C G x2


Verse 3:
Em         D
Winter is over
    C            G
I wish you were sober
     Em          D
Or happy or different
     C             G
At all since I've left
     Em      D      C            G
But every lesson I had to learn over
     Em           D
I learned in the end
         C           G
When I learned for myself
   N.C.
No one else

Em D C G x2


Chorus:
 Em             D
One two three, one two three
C               G
I don't mean a word of it
Em            D
Counting my breaths
         C              G
And the steps to your house


 Em             D
One two three, one two three
C               G
I don't mean a word of it
 Em          D
Wonder how long until
     C         G
You figure me out
    Em D C G
Or not
    Em D C G
Or not

Verse 4:
Em         D
Winter is cold now
     C          G
And all that I know

Is how
 Em        D
Love disappoints
        C            G
If you dare live it out

Em             D
Good then, I know
          C            G
What it takes to grow old
         Em        D
So I'm going back home
         C            G
I'm not leaving the house

      Em        D
Or: winter was hard
          C             G
We drove fast, we went far
           Em         D
Stayed as long as we had to
        C              G
Didn't come back for weeks
Em      D
When we returned
        C               G
We went straight to the bar
      Em          D
To an unfamiliar bed
      C            G
And uncomfortable sheets

And dear
Em            D
Since I'm not home
        C             G
I won't mind if you leave

Outro Chorus:
Em                D
One two three - I didn't mean..
    C
Who said you could
 G
Count on me
Em           D
Counting my breaths
C            G
Counting my breaths
Em               D
One two three I didn't mean
     C
Who said you could
 G
Count on me
Em           D
Counting my breaths
C             G
Counting my breaths
