VERSE 1:
      C#m
Was a long and dark December 
                    C#m7
From the rooftops I remember
          A           F#m  (Riff:    A:-4/3-2/1-|)
There was snow, white snow (/=slide  E:-4/3-2/1-|)


  C#m
Clearly I remember from the windows 
          C#m7              A
They were watching while we froze 
        F#m (Riff)
Down below 

          A
When the future's architectured
     B                     C#m
By a carnival of idiots on show 
               B
You'd better lie low 
G#m    A    G#m E         C#m B   C#m
If you love me, won’t you let me know 

VERSE 2:
      C#m
Was a long and dark December 
                      C#m7
When the banks became cathedrals 
        A          F#m
And the fog became God
 
C#m
Priests clutched onto bibles 
                          C#m7
Hollowed out to fit their rifles 
      A               F#m
And a cross was held aloft 

A
Bury me in armour
         B
When I’m dead and hit the ground 
              C#m         B
My nerves are poles who unfroze
G#m    A    G#m E         C#m B   C#m
If you love me, won’t you let me know

        A
I don’t wanna be a soldier 
       B
Like the captain of some sinking ship 
     C#m
Would stow 
    B
Far below 
    G#m    A    G#m E         C#m B   C#m
So, if you love me, why’d you let me go 

OUTRO:
          E            A      G#m      A
I took my love down to Violet Hill 
        C#m     F#m   A   
There we sat    in    snow 
         C#m  F#m     A         G#m
All that time she was silent still 
    G#m    A    G#m E         C#m  B     A
So, if you love me, won’t you let  me   know?
G#m    A    G#m E         C#m B   C#m
If you love me, won’t you let me know?
