[Verse]
C
C                   Em
This endless night
     Am
This funeral dirge
C                 Em
We celebrate life
       Am
At the end of the earth
F                  Em
When everything is gone
            G               C
There'll be nothing left to lose
 
C    Em    Am    (x2)    The riff from the intro plays over these chords
 
C                   Em
The ice is closing in
    Am
And nothing will remain
C                        Em
We took what we could get
       Am
And we burned it anyway
F              Em
With all those secrets
              G                  C
We swore we'd take 'em to the grave
Em             Am           C
The light will falter and will fade
Em         Am
And in the darkness we'll say
 
[Chorus]
F                          C
This winter hasn't been so rough
F                           C      Em
Oh it was cold but still it wasn't cold enough
F                              C
To freeze the blood beneath my spine
       Em           Am  G  Dm  F
And at least I survived
 
C    Em    Am     (x2)    The riff from the intro plays over these chords
 
C                            Em
We're sleeping through the days
     Am
And sinking like a ship
C                  Em
We're wasting away
Am
Bit by bit
F              Em
Everyone is gone
    G                   C
And everything is changed
Em       Am        C
It won't ever be the same
Em              Am
And when it's over we'll say
 
[Chorus]
F                          C
This winter hasn't been so rough
F                           C       Em
Oh it was cold but still it wasn't cold enough
F                              C
To freeze the blood beneath my spine
       Em           Am  G  Dm  F  Am  G  Dm  F  F
And at least I survived

C
We've had some dark days
Em
We're in the thick of it now
Am
And when the ice breaks
Em
There will be no one around

e|--------12------------7------:|--------12-------------------| B|---13-------------8-----10---:|----13-----------------------| G|-----12-------------7--------:|------12-------12-12--14-14--| D|--14-----------/9------------:|-14--------------------------| A|-----------------------------:|-----------------------------| E|-----------------------------:|-----------------------------| revised riff/ending to let notes ring out more, plus the position is transposable so its easier to play. im barring the bottom 3 strings with my index, my middle finger one up on the B, and my ring 2 up from the index (d bar shape). this lets me play the B10 (for when it switches from Em to Am) with my pinky :).
