D*  D  G/B    Cadd9
Oh, I am laid bare
D*            D  G/B       Cadd9       G/B
I've given my heart to the cold winter air

And for my investment I found a pair
     G
Of shoes

Carrying those stones until

          I die

Here to destroy all the plans that we made
      D*               D   G/B      Cadd9      G/B
He’ll tear out your heart and he’ll make you afraid
     G
Of me

Here, we can lay down
    D*               D G/B      Cadd9          G/B
Our heads in the clouds and our feet on the ground
D*               D   G/B    Cadd9     G/B
Once you have heard it, you won’t forget
       G
The sound
