CIn a cold town by the shFore,
there's a hCill, where the city lights shFine.
In a cCold, winter in the nForth,

You might be cAmold, but I dFon't mind,
coming back to yCou.

And my brCeath leaves easier now,
like a ghost in the aFir.
To the lCeft, there's a boy in the park,
with black frozen hFair.
And the rCoad, I know every dFay,
the rCoad, why should I stFay?
[Chorus]
You might be cAmold, but I dFon't mind,
coming back to yCou.
[Outro]
And I wCake in the morning with the itch to be leaving,
Fevery single day.
To hCop to the wheel and drive into the city,
but I knFow I'd run away.

[Intro]

C C C C

[Verse]

C F

In a cold town by the shore,

C F

there's a hill, where the city lights shine.

C F

In a cold, winter in the north,

C F

I drive; the skyline's alive.

[Chorus]

Am F

You might be cold, but I don't mind,

coming back to you.

[Verse]

And my breath leaves easier now,

like a ghost in the air.

To the left, there's a boy in the park,

with black frozen hair.

C F

And the road, I know every day,

C F

the road, why should I stay?

[Chorus]

Am F

You might be cold, but I don't mind,

coming back to you.

[Outro]

And I wake in the morning with the itch to be leaving,

every single day.

To hop to the wheel and drive into the city,

but I know I'd run away.
