It all seems worse in the deep days of December

   DmDm   A minorAm  C majorC        G+G
These anxious lives set fire to the calm
      DmDm   A minorAm  C majorC        G+G
And burn up all the time skating on thin ice

When only love lives on  and lingers when you're gone


Chorus 2:
    C majorC        G+G           DmDm          FF
So lets ride together on bikes, the sun on our back, no fear of the future
