When playing this I do a palm mute/lift on the verse chords and play the chorus 
more open and a little heavier stum.
[Verse]
EmMindstrong      Body Strong
Try to find.... equilibrium C  
Head Straight   Screwed on Em  
Screwed up.... for too long
Don't want to lean on the waves
I watch the storm evaporateC  
I think of you n the starry skiesEm  
I keep you..... so alive...
AmLets walk through the fGire together
EmDisappear in the Dgolden Csands
[Chorus]
Its all in your Amface    I see you Embreak
Its like the Dsound of winteCr
The bleeding Amlove   The silent esEmcape
You've got to Dhang on to yourCself
It's like the Dsound of winteEmr
[Verse]
EmMedusa Smiles     Judas lips
Open arms....  fingertipsC  
Love bites   and recompensEme
I'll be with you... until the end
AmLets walk through the fGire together
EmDisappear in the Dgolden Csands
[Chorus]
Its all in your Amface    I see you Embreak
Its like the Dsound of winteCr
The bleeding Amlove   The silent esEmcape
You've got to Dhang on to yourCself

The story behind the song

"The Sound Of Winter" comes from Bush's fifth studio album, The Sea of Memories. The song's music video opens with a solitary, reflective mood as the singer walks a cold beach, then transitions into a vibrant summer party scene, suggesting a journey from introspection to joyful release. This shift in atmosphere, from a "cold, grey morning" to a "blissful summer party," hints at the song's emotional arc. It plays like an exploration of changing seasons, both external and internal.
