But I'm stuck on a winning streak

Well today there's clarity

A D

And tonight I see tomorrow

All at once the winter's here

D Em

All the lochs are frozen over

As I look in back of me

A D

See a shape beside the walkway

Half of my life I've been watching

A7 D

Half of my life i've been waking up

D Em

Birds in the sky could warn me

A A7

There's no life like the snow life

So for now I'll take my time

D Em

For now I can't be bothered

Well I learned a lot of things

A D

And I fudged a lot of numbers

Once again the winter's here

D Em

All the lochs are frozen over

So I look in back of me

A D

See a shape beside the walkway

Half of my life I've been watching

A7 D

Half of my life I've been waking up

Birds in the sky could warn me

A A7

There's no life like the snow life
