[Verse 1]
CNever more in love than when I'm Gleaving
GNever want you more than when you're Cgone
CNever miss the wind that keeps me bGreathing
G'Til it leaves my lungs gasping for its Csong
[Verse 2]
CYou warmed the earth inside me with your bare hGands
GYou took me by the heart and slowed its Cbeat
CThe dirt within me turned and becamGe muddy
GWith your digging and your constant burning Cheat
[Chorus]
You came Amswiftly as a snowstorm in OctFober
UnexpecCtedly, you tAmurned me into slGeetG7  
And if I cAmould, I guess I'd love you ten times oF-ver
It's just I'd cGhoose a better tG7ime for us to mCeet
[Verse 3]
CI never feel more found than when I'm Gwandering
GI never feel more still than when I'm Cfree
CBut to hear that quiet voice, I'd give up Geverything
GTo follow the soft sighing of the sCea
[Chorus]
You came Amswiftly as a snowstorm in OctFober
UnexpecCtedly, you tAmurned me into slGeetG7  
And if I cAmould, I guess I'd love you ten times oF-ver
It's just I'd cGhoose a better tG7ime for us to mCeet
