the (C*) chord in the chorus, i cannot tell what that chord is, or even if there is a 
new chord there in the song. any help would be great. The rest I'm pretty sure is right.
Bflat
When the ice breaks,
DmWhen the hearts shake in the town and it marks the Gmend of Winter,
DmThe end of our love for now.
Bflat
And you spent your Summers,
DmYour Summers in the south in the CentraGml Rockies
DmAnd I left you now.
C#But what'll I do?
             Bflat
I never thought it was true.
Bflat
Under the hill star,
DmAbove the city tonight and past tGmhe cemetery,
DmWhere my father tried to start a new life.
Bflat
And I held you tight,
DmWe were waiting for Gmthe breakup,
DmAll the cracks in the ice.
C#And what'll I do?
          Bflat
I never thought it was true.
                             C#(C*)
Cut a line in the snow with our boots,
Split this city in twGmo,
                        Bflat
From Abasand and Coker Two.
The ice is gone you'll C#leave me too,
The ice is gone you'll leave me too.
Bflat
And you will find me,
DmWhen the Summer dies stucGmk in McMurray,
DmI'll be waiting for the ice.
C#And what'll I do?
           Bflat
I never thought it was true
                      C#(C*)
Cut a line in the snow with our boots,
Split this ciGmty in two,
           Bflat
From Abasand and Coker Two.
C#The ice is gone you'll leave me too,
The ice is gone you'll leave me too.
