 C  C(with open D)
  CCleared a Empath through the Funusual snowfall
  COur hands were Emcold, our hearts Fwarm in the wet snow
  CAsked me Emif I still beFlieve in Santa Claus, well,
  CSanta EmClaus is a Fvery fine fellow
  FWhen we reached that  Efrozen lake,
  CI thought it looked like it was Fstrong enough to stand on
  FHeld your hand as we sofEtly took the first step
  AmIgnoring cracks, bubbles, Fwe're strong swimmers
  FWe'd be walking on water in the summer
  CHeld our Emground through Flow clouds and dark skies
  CClothes were Emdamp and our Fskins cold to the touch, touch
  CAsked ourEmselves if we Fstill believe in old tales
  CStories Emcome and they Fgo but they come from somewhere
  FWhen we jumped through Ethat frozen lake
  CI thought the fire was a Flovely thing to lean on
  FKissed your cheek and said "EDarling, we're strong swimmers but
  Amif I go down you better Fcall Holly to save me"
  FWe'd be buried in the water in the summer
  FWe'd be leaning on lake tides and lilies
  C    E     Am    FWe've got the biggest hearts
  C    EAt a big loAmve
And we're all Fstrong swimmers
  C   EWe've got the biggest heartAms
  FAt a big love
  C   EWe've got the biggest hearAmts
  And we're aFll
  FAnd we're all
  FAnd we're all
  FStrong swimmers

Cleared a path through the unusual snowfall

Our hands were cold, our hearts warm in the wet snow

Asked me if I still believe in Santa Claus, well,

C Em F

Santa Claus is a very fine fellow

F E

When we reached that frozen lake,

C F

I thought it looked like it was strong enough to stand on

F E

Held your hand as we softly took the first step

Am F

Ignoring cracks, bubbles, we're strong swimmers

We'd be walking on water in the summer

C Em F

Held our ground through low clouds and dark skies

C Em F

Clothes were damp and our skins cold to the touch, touch

C Em F

Asked ourselves if we still believe in old tales

C Em F

Stories come and they go but they come from somewhere

F E

When we jumped through that frozen lake

C F

I thought the fire was a lovely thing to lean on

F E

Kissed your cheek and said "Darling, we're strong swimmers but

Am F

if I go down you better call Holly to save me"

We'd be buried in the water in the summer

We'd be leaning on lake tides and lilies

We've got the biggest hearts

At a big love

And we're all strong swimmers

C E Am

We've got the biggest hearts

At a big love

C E Am

We've got the biggest hearts

And we're all

Strong swimmers
