Verse
Dm
Was a long and dark December
Dm7
From the rooftops I remember
A# A#sus2 Gm G5 F#5 F5 Fb5 (strum quickly)
There was snow, white snow
Dm
Clearly I remember from the windows
Dm7 A# A#sus2
They were watching while we froze...
Gm G5 F#5 F5 Fb5
Down below
[CHORUS]
A#
When the future's architectured
C Dm
By a carnival of idiots on show
C
You'd better lie low
Am A# Am F Dm C6 Dm
If you love me, won’t you let me know?
[VERSE 2]
Dm
Was a long and dark December
Dm7
When the banks became cathedrals
A# A#sus2 Gm G5 F#5 F5 Fb5
And the fox became God
Dm
Priest clutched onto bibles
Dm7
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
A# A#sus2 Gm G5 F#5 F5 Fb5
And the cross was held aloft.
[CHORUS]
A#
Bury me in armour
C
When I’m dead and hit the ground
Dm C
My nerves are poles that unfroze
Am A# Am F Dm C6 Dm
And if you love me, won’t you let me know?
[GUITAR SOLO]
