D       G
Baby I love you

      D          C
But that's not enough

Am        G               D        C
Pulling away has been unbearably rough

D             G
I ran up the mountain

 D            C
Out of your sight

Am              G                D         C
The snow on the peak was just unbearably white
[Bridge 1] C G C G C G C G [Verse 2]
D              G
The city was freezing

   D         C
An elegant flow

Am               G              D       C
The wind at the doorway was unbearably cold

D                  G
You walked to the bedroom

     D            C
And sat down to write

Am                G              D        C
The page in your notebook was unbearably white
[Chorus 1]
Am
There's an avalanche coming

G                 D
Don't cover your eyes

Am
It's what you thought that you wanted

G                 D
It's still a surprise

Am
It's hard on the body

Em                D7
It's hard on the mind

B7                       Em
To learn what kept us together, darling

Am7              D7
Is what kept us alive
[Bridge 2] G G G G D C Am Em Em D C G G G G D C Am Em Em D C [Verse 2]
D          G
Sooner or later

      D         C
The story gets told

Am            G               D        C
To tell it myself would be unbearably bold

D               G
Presented with darkness

    D           C
We turn to the light

Am              G                  D         C
Could've been smart, we're just unbearably bright

It's still a surprise

It's hard on the body

Em                D7
It's hard on the mind

B7                       Em
To learn what kept us together, darling

Am7              D7
Is what kept us alive

Call it a day

D          C
Call it a night

And just unbearably white

Out of your sight

The snow on the peak was just unbearably white

Call it a day

D          C
Call it a night

D             Em
Careless and cold

             D        C
And just unbearably white

D          G
Call it a day

D          C
Call it a night...
