[Intro]
G6/E Em7 Cadd9 Am
[Verse 1]
Em7It was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was Csnow, white Amsnow
Em7Clearly I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we Cmaj7froze down Ambelow
[Chorus 1]
When the Cfuture's architectured
AmBy a carnival of idiots on Emshow
You'd better lie D/F#low
If you Amlove Emme, won't you let D/F#me kCadd2now?
[Verse 2]
Em7Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And a Cadd9fox became Am7God
Em7Priests clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And a Cadd2cross heAm7ld aloft
[Chorus 2]
CBury me in armour
When I'm Amdead and hit the ground
My nerves are Empoles that unD/F#froze
And if you Amlove Emme, won't you let D/F#me gCadd2o?
AmI don't want to be a soldier
CWho the captain of some sinking ship
G6/EWould stow, D/F#far below.
If you Amlove Emme, won't you let D/F#me kCadd2now?
[Outro]
AmI took my Emlove down to violet D/F#hillAm  
There we G6/Esat in snowAm7  
All that Emtime she was silenD/F#t still
Said if you Amlove Emme, why'd you let D/F#me gCadd2o?
If you Amlove Emme, won't you let D/F#me kCadd2now?
Said if you Amlove Emme, won't you let D/F#me kCadd2now?
