Iron & Wine – Why Hate Winter (Guitar)

E
All the waters run out

A
There's a high-speed chase

E
And I think to myself-

              B
"Why hate the winter?"

E
The fireplace glows

A
You've a towel around your head

E
They're the words I would say

              B
If only I was braver

A                 E
But it's much too cold

A                     B
To run like a dog all alone

A
So come to my side

E                          B
And snuggle with me in the blanket

A
Don't offer your love

       B                          E
'Cause I'm not the one who should take it

E
I'll batten the doors and the windows too

A
The radioman says it's negative two

E
And then he puts on the song

                              B
That just wouldn't fit in the summer

E
Your body it sways it's so fragile and bare

A
You say "Won't you come here and play in my hair?"

E
But I still like a tree

           B
Taken by a shiver

A                 E
And it's much too cold

A                     B
To run like a dog all alone

A
So come to my side

E                          B
And snuggle with me in the blanket

A
Don't offer your love

       E                          B
'Cause I'm not the one who should take it

E
Floorboards are quiet

A
And I cry like a child

E
And I'd give you my soul

                       B
If it wasn't that of a sinner

E
You are no virgin Mary

A
And there's no telling all of

E
But your skin makes for me

                   B
A warm screaming reminder

A                 E
But it's much too cold

A                 E
To run like a dog all alone

A
So come to my side

E                          B
And snuggle with me in the blanket

A
Don't offer your love

B                              E
'Cause I'm not a man who could take it
