Verse
Cm
Was a long and dark December
Cm7
From the rooftops I remember
G# G#sus2 Fm F5 E5 D#5 D5 (strum quickly)
There was snow, white snow
Cm
Clearly I remember from the windows
Cm7 G# G#sus2
They were watching while we froze...
Fm F5 E5 D#5 D5
Down below
[CHORUS]
G#
When the future's architectured
A# Cm
By a carnival of idiots on show
A#
You'd better lie low
Gm G# Gm D# Cm A#6 Cm
If you love me, won’t you let me know?
[VERSE 2]
Cm
Was a long and dark December
Cm7
When the banks became cathedrals
G# G#sus2 Fm F5 E5 D#5 D5
And the fox became God
Cm
Priest clutched onto bibles
Cm7
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
G# G#sus2 Fm F5 E5 D#5 D5
And the cross was held aloft.
[CHORUS]
G#
Bury me in armour
A#
When I’m dead and hit the ground
Cm A#
My nerves are poles that unfroze
Gm G# Gm D# Cm A#6 Cm
And if you love me, won’t you let me know?
