 Em                                                          D
Walkin' down this lonely stretch of beach, she and I walked down a thousand times
   Em                                                           D
I just can force myself to give her up like all the things she left behind
 Em                                                     A
Gone are the days, when I'd wake up with her warm body next to mine

Chorus:
G                         A              D
It gets cold here in the wintertime
                      G                            Em       A
And my mind drifts away, to that house across the bay
G                   A          D                         G
A long talk and a glass of wine and we'd love the night away
                    Em  A                            D
But that was yesterday ... in that house across the bay

Verse 2:
     Em                                                           D
Her laughter was contagious, her walk, her talk, her smile lit up every room
                Em                                                              D
They say things happen for a reason, but I can't find one good reason, why she's gone so soon
Em                                                          A
Life just seems to hang on every thought and everything we used to be

Chorus:
G                         A              D
It gets cold here in the wintertime
                      G                            Em       A
And my mind drifts away, to that house across the bay
G                   A          D                         G
A long talk and a glass of wine and we'd love the night away
                    Em  A                            D
But that was yesterday ... in that house across the bay

Verse 3:
                          Em                           A
There was sunshine every day and we'd love the night away
                          D
In that house across the bay

Em  A  D
