Verse
Am
Was a long and dark December
Am7
From the rooftops I remember
F Fsus2 Dm D5 C#5 C5 Cb5 (strum quickly)
There was snow, white snow
Am
Clearly I remember from the windows
Am7 F Fsus2
They were watching while we froze...
Dm D5 C#5 C5 Cb5
Down below
[CHORUS]
F
When the future's architectured
G Am
By a carnival of idiots on show
G
You'd better lie low
Em F Em C Am G6 Am
If you love me, won’t you let me know?
[VERSE 2]
Am
Was a long and dark December
Am7
When the banks became cathedrals
F Fsus2 Dm D5 C#5 C5 Cb5
And the fox became God
Am
Priest clutched onto bibles
Am7
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
F Fsus2 Dm D5 C#5 C5 Cb5
And the cross was held aloft.
[CHORUS]
F
Bury me in armour
G
When I’m dead and hit the ground
Am G
My nerves are poles that unfroze
Em F Em C Am G6 Am
And if you love me, won’t you let me know?
[GUITAR SOLO]
Am Asus2
