Chords

[Intro] C#m [Verse 1]
C#m
Was a long and dark December

C#m
From the rooftops I remember

A
There was snow

F#m
White snow

C#m
Clearly I remember

C#m
From the windows they were watching

         A          F#m
While we froze down below

A
When the future's architecture

B                      C#m
By a carnival of idiots on show

                B
You'd better lie low
[Chorus]
       A    E
If you love me

          F#m     C#m
Won't you let me know?
[Verse 2]
C#m
Was a long and dark December

C#m
When the banks became cathedrals

A
And the fog

F#m
Became God

C#m
Priests clutched onto bibles

C#m
Hollowed out to fit their rifles

A                    F#m
And the cross was held aloft

A
Bury me in armor

B
When I'm dead and hit the ground

             C#m         B
My nerves are poles that unfroze
[Chorus]
       A    E
If you love me

          F#m     C#m
Won't you let me know?

A
I don't want to be a soldier

B
Who the captain of some sinking ship

C#m
Would stow

B
Far below

          A    E
So if you love me

          F#m    C#m
Why'd you let me go?
[Outro]
A           B          C#m     B
I took my love down to violet hill

A     B   C#m     B
There we sat in snow

A           B          C#m     B
All the time she was silent and still

          A    E
So if you love me

          F#m     C#m
Won't you let me know?

       A    E
If you love me

          F#m    C#m
Won't you let me know?
