Verse
D#m
Was a long and dark December
D#m7
From the rooftops I remember
B Bsus2 G#m G#5 G5 F#5 F5 (strum quickly)
There was snow, white snow
D#m
Clearly I remember from the windows
D#m7 B Bsus2
They were watching while we froze...
G#m G#5 G5 F#5 F5
Down below
[CHORUS]
B
When the future's architectured
C# D#m
By a carnival of idiots on show
C#
You'd better lie low
A#m B A#m F# D#m C#6 D#m
If you love me, won’t you let me know?
[VERSE 2]
D#m
Was a long and dark December
D#m7
When the banks became cathedrals
B Bsus2 G#m G#5 G5 F#5 F5
And the fox became God
D#m
Priest clutched onto bibles
D#m7
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
B Bsus2 G#m G#5 G5 F#5 F5
And the cross was held aloft.
[CHORUS]
B
Bury me in armour
C#
When I’m dead and hit the ground
D#m C#
My nerves are poles that unfroze
A#m B A#m F# D#m C#6 D#m
And if you love me, won’t you let me know?
