[Verse 2]
Cdim Bb F Eb The city was freezing, an elegant flow Cm7 Gm7 F Eb The wind at the doorway was unbearably cold Cdim Bb F Eb You walked to the bedroom and sat down to write Cm7 Gm7 F Eb The page in your notebook was unbearably white
[Chorus 1]
Cm7 Gm7 F7 There's an avalanche coming, don't cover your eyes Cm7 Gm7 F7 It's what you thought that you wanted, it's still a surprise Cm7 Gm7 F7 It's hard on the body, it's hard on the mind D7 Gm7 To learn what kept us together, darling Cm7 F7 Is what kept us alive
(Repeat riff 1)
[Verse 3]
Cdim Bb F Eb Sooner or later, the story gets told Cm7 Gm7 F Eb To tell it myself would be unbearably bold Cdim Bb F Eb Presented with darkness, we turn to the light Cm7 Gm7 F Eb Could've been smart, we're just unbearably bright
(Repeat riff 2)
[Chorus 2]
Cm7 Gm7 F7 There's an avalanche coming, don't cover your eyes Cm7 Gm7 F7 It's what you thought that you wanted, it's still a surprise Cm7 Gm7 F7 It's hard on the body, it's hard on the mind D7 Gm7 To learn what kept us together, darling Cm7 F7 Is what kept us alive
