VERSE 1:
Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
A Asus2 F#m F#5 F5 E5 Eb5 (strum quickly)
There was snow, white snow
Clearly I remember from the windows
They were watching while we froze...
Down below
CHORUS:
When the future's architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low
If you love me, won’t you let me know?
VERSE 2:
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And the fox became God
Priest clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And the cross was held aloft.
CHORUS:
Bury me in armour
When I’m dead and hit the ground
My nerves are poles that unfroze
And if you love me, won’t you let me know?

CHORUS:
I don’t wanna be a soldier
who the captain of some sinking ship
would stow
far below...
So, if you love me, why’d you let me go?
OUTRO:
(C#m)
I took my love down to Violet Hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silenced still
So, if you love me, won’t you let me know?
If you love me, won’t you let me know?
