VERSE 1:
C#m
Was a long and dark December
C#m7
A Asus2 F#m F#5 F5 E5 Eb5 (strum quickly)
There was snow, white snow
C#m
Clearly I remember from the windows
C#m7 A Asus2
They were watching while we froze...
F#m F#5 F5 E5 Eb5
Down below
CHORUS:
A
When the future's architectured
B C#m
By a carnival of idiots on show
B
You'd better lie low
G#m A G#m E C#m B6 C#m
If you love me, won’t you let me know?
VERSE 2:
C#m
Was a long and dark December
C#m7
When the banks became cathedrals
A Asus2 F#m F#5 F5 E5 Eb5
And the fox became God
C#m
Priest clutched onto bibles
C#m7
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
A Asus2 F#m F#5 F5 E5 Eb5
And the cross was held aloft.
CHORUS:
A
Bury me in armour
B
When I’m dead and hit the ground
C#m B
My nerves are poles that unfroze
G#m A G#m E C#m B6 C#m
And if you love me, won’t you let me know?

CHORUS:
A
I don’t wanna be a soldier
B
who the captain of some sinking ship
C#m
would stow
B
far below...

So, if you love me, why’d you let me go?
OUTRO:
(C#m) E A E G#m A
I took my love down to Violet Hill
C#m G#m A
There we sat in snow
A B C#m F#m E G#m
All that time she was silenced still
G#m A G#m E C#m B C#m A
So, if you love me, won’t you let me know?
G#m A G#m E C#m B C#m
If you love me, won’t you let me know?
