Unearth all the changes Em that never did matter Cadd9 I think it's beginning to freeze here e|--------------0---------|-------------------------------------| B|--------------0---------|-----0---------0---------0-----------| G|--2h4-2-0---0---0-------|---0---0-----0---0-----0---0-----0---| D|--0---0-0-4-------4-2-0-|--(2)----2/4-------4/5-------4-4---0-| A|------------------------|-------------------------------------| E|------------------------|0------------------------------------| Verse 2: Cadd9 Caught in the rage, And the fire of things Em All the brightness that burns me I'm fumbling through Cadd9 Like a child in the dark When the nakedness comes Em I am shocked by the colour Am The glorious way your skin Chorus: C Comes alive G D Am And I never thought we'd make it back so soon C Might be nice G D But I knew you'd be your own destroyer Am C Comes a time G D And I never thought I'd make it up to you .

Verse 3: Cadd9 Here, please forgive me How could we escape Em All the bitterness Piled upon bitterness Cadd9 Held in the face of the things That I don't understand Em Intellectualize Over and over Cadd9 This helplessness suits us Funny how quiet Em Has slipped to our corners Cadd9 And worn all our edges away You are watching Breathing and baiting Em Wanting and warming And cautiously waiting Cadd9 For some simple signal To creep cross your conscience Em Uncover redemption And oh, did I mention? Cadd9 I carried you down To the St. Lawrence River Em The banks running dirty Cadd9 The water's beginning to freeze here (play first part of theme riff) Em Solid by morning Cadd9 And I'll freeze here (play first part of theme riff) Em Winter by morniiing . yeahh . yeahhh Chorus: Am C Comes alive G D Am And I never thought we'd make it back so soon C Might be nice G D But I knew you'd be your own destroyer Am C Comes a time G D And I always thought I'd make it up to you .

Verse 4: Cadd9 I saw on your face Such a curious grin Em As I let go your hand, Cadd9 was desperate to hold you again But you're sinking Too deep in the water Em Outsmarted myself And so easily gave up Cadd9 What I wanted (play first part of theme riff) Em Solid by morning Cadd9 What I wanted (play first part of theme riff) Em Winter by morning Chorus: Am C Comes alive G D Am And I never thought we'd make it back so soon C Might be nice G D Am C G But I knew you'd be your own destroyerrrrrrrrrrr D Cadd9 Ohhh, ohhhhh Outro: e|---------------0---------|-------------------------------------| B|---------------0---------|-----0---------0---------0-----------| G|---2h4-2-0---0---0-------|---0---0-----0---0-----0---0-----0---| D|---0---0-0-4-------4-2-0-|--(2)----2/4-------4/5-------4-4---0-| A|-------------------------|-------------------------------------| E|-------------------------|0------------------------------------| And I'll (Slow it down here) e|----------------------0----------------0----| B|----------------------0----------------0----| G|----------2h4-2-0---0----0-------------0----| D|----------0---0-0-4--------4--2--0-----2----| A|---------------------------------------2----| E|--3------------------------------------0----| Freeze here .
