Verse
Fm
Was a long and dark December
Fm7
From the rooftops I remember
C# C#sus2 A#m A#5 A5 G#5 G5 (strum quickly)
There was snow, white snow
Fm
Clearly I remember from the windows
Fm7 C# C#sus2
They were watching while we froze...
A#m A#5 A5 G#5 G5
Down below
[CHORUS]
C#
When the future's architectured
D# Fm
By a carnival of idiots on show
D#
You'd better lie low
Cm C# Cm G# Fm D#6 Fm
If you love me, won’t you let me know?
[VERSE 2]
Fm
Was a long and dark December
Fm7
When the banks became cathedrals
C# C#sus2 A#m A#5 A5 G#5 G5
And the fox became God
Fm
Priest clutched onto bibles
Fm7
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
C# C#sus2 A#m A#5 A5 G#5 G5
And the cross was held aloft.
[CHORUS]
C#
Bury me in armour
D#
When I’m dead and hit the ground
Fm D#
My nerves are poles that unfroze
Cm C# Cm G# Fm D#6 Fm
And if you love me, won’t you let me know?
