Verse
Bm
Was a long and dark December
Bm7
From the rooftops I remember
G Gsus2 Em E5 D#5 D5 Db5 (strum quickly)
There was snow, white snow
Bm
Clearly I remember from the windows
Bm7 G Gsus2
They were watching while we froze...
Em E5 D#5 D5 Db5
Down below
[CHORUS]
G
When the future's architectured
A Bm
By a carnival of idiots on show
A
You'd better lie low
F#m G F#m D Bm A6 Bm
If you love me, won’t you let me know?
[VERSE 2]
Bm
Was a long and dark December
Bm7
When the banks became cathedrals
G Gsus2 Em E5 D#5 D5 Db5
And the fox became God
Bm
Priest clutched onto bibles
Bm7
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
G Gsus2 Em E5 D#5 D5 Db5
And the cross was held aloft.
[CHORUS]
G
Bury me in armour
A
When I’m dead and hit the ground
Bm A
My nerves are poles that unfroze
F#m G F#m D Bm A6 Bm
And if you love me, won’t you let me know?
