The sea is whipping the sky

The sky is whipping the sea
    E minorEm
You can hide away forever from the storm
      G+G          D MajorD
But you'll never hide away from me
  G+G
The icy cold will cut us like a knife in the dark
      E minorEm    D MajorD      C majorC
And we may lose everything in the wind
    G+G
But the Northern Lights are burning
      E minorEm
And they're giving off sparks
     A minorAm                  D MajorD
I want to wrap myself around you like a winter skin

      G+G
You've been living your life like a girl in a cage
    G+G
And you whisper when I want you to shout
   G+G
And I wonder why you wanna go on sleeping
       D MajorD
When there's nothing left to dream about
    D MajorD
But you better remember

If it's something I want then it's something I need

Your eyes are darker than sin
       G+G
And I've been watching them glow

Take a chance on a promise and a roll of the dice

Put your foot on the gas, let it go, let it go, let it go
