    F  Am7   F     Am  Dm
And if the snow buries my,
A   A#       F
my neighborhood.
    F             Am7   F
And if my parents are crying
          Am    Dm
then I'll dig a tunnel
      A     A#     F
from my window to yours,
Am        Dm        A     A#     F
yeah a tunnel from my window to yours.

You climb out the chimney
and meet me in the middle
The middle of the town
And since there's no one else around,
we let our hair grow long
And forget all we used to know
Then our skin gets thicker
from living out in the snow

Chorus:
F
You change all the lead
sleepin' in my head,
Dm
as the day grows dim
                          C
I hear you sing a golden hymn.

Then we tried to name our babies
but we forgot all the names that...
The names we used to know
But sometimes we remember our bedrooms
and our parent's bedrooms
And the bedrooms of our friends
Then we think of our parents, well,
what ever happened to them?

Chorus:
You change all the lead,
sleeping in my head to gold
As the day grows dim,
I hear you sing a golden hymn
It’s the song I’ve been trying to sing

F
Purify the colors, purify my mind.
Dm                            C
Purify the colors, purify my mind,
C
and spread the ashes of the colors
over this heart of mine!
