VERSE 1:
      C#m
Was a long and dark December 
                    C#m7
From the rooftops I remember
          A   Asus2    F#m      F#5  F5  E5  Eb5   (strum quickly)
There was snow, white snow 
  C#m
Clearly I remember from the windows 
          C#m7               A       Asus2
They were watching while we froze... 
        F#m        F#5  F5  E5  Eb5 
Down below 

CHORUS:
          A             
When the future's architectured
     B                     C#m
By a carnival of idiots on show 
                 B
You'd better lie low 
Abm     A   Abm  E        C#m B6  C#m
If you love me, won’t you let me know?

VERSE 2:
      C#m
Was a long and dark December 
                       C#m7
When the banks became cathedrals 
        A  Asus2      F#m         F#5  F5  E5  Eb5 
And the fox    became God 
 C#m
Priest clutched onto bibles 
                          C#m7
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
         A   Asus2      F#m        F#5  F5  E5  Eb5 
And the cross was held aloft.

CHORUS:
A          
Bury me in armour
         B
When I’m dead and hit the ground 
              C#m           B
My nerves are poles that unfroze
    Abm     A   Abm  E        C#m B6  C#m
And if you love me, won’t you let me know?

There we sat    in    snow 
A   B    C#m  F#m     E         Abm
All that time she was silenced still 
    Abm    A    Abm  E        C#m  B   C#m          A
So, if you love me, won’t you let  me  know?

If you love me, won’t you let  me know?
