[Verse 1]
        D4         D            Gmaj7           G
The curtains are drawn, now the fire warms the room,
       Gm/Bb       A7sus4   Am7          Am6                   Bm
Mean - while, out - side,  wind from the north-east chills the air,
          G             Em          C  G
It will soon be snowing out there,
   Gm/Bb       A7sus4  Am7             Am6                   Bm
And some, there are,   cold they pre - pare for a sleepless night,
       G                 Em         C  G
Maybe this will be their last fight!


[Verse 2]
           Bm                         G
But we're safe in each other's em - brace,
          Bm                    G
All fears go as I look on your face,
        C        D7sus4(b11)  F/C                   C           G
Better think a - while,            or I may never think ...a - gain,
    G5      G6     G7  Cmaj7           Fmaj7(no3)            Fm
If this ...were ...the last day of your life,  ...my friend,
Em          Em7          Em             A7
   Tell me, what do you think you would do ...then?


[Chorus]
  D              D4   D   G/B
Stand up to the blow----     ...that fate has struck upon you,
  D              D4   D   G/B
Make the most of all----     ...you still have coming to you,
 Em              Em7/D  Em6/C#
Lay down on the ground,      ...and let the tears run from you,
 Bm             G                   A            A/G
Crying to the grass and trees and heaven, finally on your knees,
 D               D4   D   G/B
Let me live a - gain----       let life come find me wanting,
 D                      D4  D   G/B
Spring must strike a - gain----    ...against the shield of winter,
 Em              Em7/D  Em6/C#
Let me feel once more       ...the arms of love surround me,
  Bm              G             F#4                F#            B
Telling me the danger's past, I need not fear the icy blast a - gain!

  D4        D       Gmaj7           G        Gm/Bb      A7sus4
Laughter, music and perfume linger here, and there, and there,
Am7                 Am6                Bm
Wine ...flows from flask to glass and mouth,
        G                Em           C  G
As it soothes, confusing our doubts,
    Gm/Bb      A7sus4    Am7       Am6               Bm
And soon, ...we feel  ...why do a single thing to - day?
               G             Em         C  G
There's to - morrow, sure as I'm here!
