[Intro] Am Am/D F C Am G F C [Verse 1]
     Am      Am/D 
Were not the same, dear

    F           C
As we used to be

    Am              G  
The seasons have changed

    F         D
And so have we

              Am               Am/D 
And there was little we could say

         F                    C
And even less that we could do

            Am                 G
To stop the ice from getting thinner

       F       C
Under me and you
[Verse 2]
   Am        Am/D 
We buried our love

      F          C
In a wintery grave

  Am              G
A lump in the snow

    F            D
Was all that remained

          Am            Am/D 
Though we stayed by its side

        F               C
As the days turned to weeks

        Am                 G
And the ice kept getting thinner

           F               C
With ever word that we'd speak
[Bridge]
     F                 C
And when the spring arrived

        F             C#dim
We were taken by surprise

         Dm              G
When the flows under our feet

      C          F
Bled into the sea

     G
And nothing was left
For you and me [Instrumental] Am Am/D F C Am G F D Am Am/D F C Am G F C [Verse 3]
     Am        Am/D 
Were not the same, dear

      F          C
And it seems to me

          Am            G
There's nowhere we can go

     F              D
With nothing underneath

       Am             Am/D 
And it saddens me to say

         F             C
What we both knew was true

         Am               G
That the ice was getting thinner

       F      C
Under me and you
[Outro]
    Am               G
The ice was getting thinner

       F      C
Under me and you
