Verse
Gm
Was a long and dark December
Gm7
From the rooftops I remember
D# D#sus2 Cm C5 B5 A#5 A5 (strum quickly)
There was snow, white snow
Gm
Clearly I remember from the windows
Gm7 D# D#sus2
They were watching while we froze...
Cm C5 B5 A#5 A5
Down below
[CHORUS]
D#
When the future's architectured
F Gm
By a carnival of idiots on show
F
You'd better lie low
Dm D# Dm A# Gm F6 Gm
If you love me, won’t you let me know?
[VERSE 2]
Gm
Was a long and dark December
Gm7
When the banks became cathedrals
D# D#sus2 Cm C5 B5 A#5 A5
And the fox became God
Gm
Priest clutched onto bibles
Gm7
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
D# D#sus2 Cm C5 B5 A#5 A5
And the cross was held aloft.
[CHORUS]
D#
Bury me in armour
F
When I’m dead and hit the ground
Gm F
My nerves are poles that unfroze
Dm D# Dm A# Gm F6 Gm
And if you love me, won’t you let me know?
[GUITAR SOLO]
