Was a[C#m]long and dark December

From the rooftops I remember
There was[A]snow, white[F#m]snow
[C#m]Clearly I remember from the windows
They were watching while we[A]froze
Down[F#m]below

When the[A]future's architectured
By a[B]carnival of idiots on[C#m]show
You'd better lie[B]low
If you[A]love[G#m]me,
[E]won?t you[C#m]let[B]me[C#m]know?

Was a[C#m]long and dark December

When the banks became cathedrals
And a[A]fox became[F#m]God
[C#m]Priests clutched onto bibles

Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And the[A]cross was held[F#m]aloft

[A]Bury me an armour
When I?m[B]dead and hit the ground
My nerves are[C#m]poles that[B]unfroze
If you[A]love[G#m]me,
[E]won?t you[C#m]let[B]me[C#m]know?

I don?t[A]want to be a soldier
Who[B]the captain of some sinking ship
[C#m]Would stow
Far[B]below
So, if you[A]love[G#m]me,
[E]why?d you[C#m]let[B]me[C#m]go?

I took my[E]love[A]down to[E]
[C#m]Violet[B]Hill[A]
[B]There we[C#m]sat[G#m]in the[A]snow
[A]All[B]that[C#m]time[F#m]she was[E]
[C#m]silent[B]still
[G#m]Said if you[A]love[G#m]me,
[E]won?t you[C#m]let[B]me[A]know?
[G#m]If you lov[A]e me[G#m],
wo[E]n?t you le[C#m]t me[B]kn[C#m]ow?
