[Intro]
Am Am/D F C
Am G F C
[Verse 1]
Am Am/D
Were not the same, dear
F C
As we used to be
Am G
The seasons have changed
F D
And so have we
Am Am/D
And there was little we could say
F C
And even less that we could do
Am G
To stop the ice from getting thinner
F C
Under me and you
[Verse 2]
Am Am/D
We buried our love
F C
In a wintery grave
Am G
A lump in the snow
F D
Was all that remained
Am Am/D
Though we stayed by its side
F C
As the days turned to weeks
Am G
And the ice kept getting thinner
F C
With ever word that we'd speak
[Bridge]
F C
And when the spring arrived
F C#dim
We were taken by surprise
Dm G
When the flows under our feet
C F
Bled into the sea
G
And nothing was left
For you and me
[Instrumental]
Am Am/D F C
Am G F D
Am Am/D F C
Am G F C
[Verse 3]
Am Am/D
Were not the same, dear
F C
And it seems to me
Am G
There's nowhere we can go
F D
With nothing underneath
Am Am/D
And it saddens me to say
F C
What we both knew was true
Am G
That the ice was getting thinner
F C
Under me and you
[Outro]
Am G
The ice was getting thinner
F C
Under me and you
