VERSE 1:
Bm
Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
G Em
There was snow white snow
Bm
Clearly I remember from the windows
G
They were watching while we froze
Em
Down below
CHORUS:
G
When the future's architectured
A Bm
By a carnival of idiots on show
A
You'd better lie low
G F#m D Bm A Bm
If you love me won t you let me know
VERSE 2:
Bm
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
G Em
And a fox became God
Bm
Priests clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
G Em
And the cross was held aloft
CHORUS:
G
Bury me an armour
A
When I m dead and hit the ground
Bm A
My nerves are poles that unfroze
G F#m D Bm A Bm
If you love me won t you let me know
CHORUS:
G
I don t want to be a soldier
A
Who the captain of some sinking ship
Bm
Would stow
A
Far below
G F#m D Bm A Bm
So if you love me why d you let me go
OUTRO:
D G D Bm A G
I took my love down to Violet Hill
A Bm F#m G
There we sat in the snow
G A Bm Em D Bm A
All that time she was silent still
F#m G F#m D Bm A G
Said if you love me won t you let me know
F#m G F#m D Bm A Bm
If you love me won t you let me know
