DmCAmF And so we'll go wrapped in love before the snow DmCAmGF And carve our mark in nooks we've known beside the river GF To feel like we own it GF To feel like we fall and own it still DmCAmF To gaze upon the locks we've done, closed doors on friends DmCAmGF That marks us out and claws our hearts to stall or start GF To feel like we own it GF Feel like we fall and own it still
DmGDm And we'll hide ourselves through the winter GDm It might kill us when summer's all we've known GDm And we'll bear these marks as reminders GDm With the dirt on our clothes as you find us GDm We two miners and love is not like diamonds G Love is coal to keep you warm
DmCAmF Lightly we'll run and lessons learned by wounds still healing DmCAmGF We lie so still on banks we've known though miles apart GF And feel like we own it GF To feel like we fall and own it still DmCAmF Unnoticed now we'll give no ground to things we've found DmCAmGF And bathed upon the heat of books we burned when certain GF To feel like we own it GF To feel like you fall and own it still
DmGDm And we'll hide ourselves through the winter GDm It might kill us when summer's all we've known GDm And we'll bear these marks as reminders GDm With the dirt on our clothes as you find us GDm We two miners and love is not like diamonds GDm Love is coal to keep you warm G Love is coal to keep you...
