G
It's getting cold
                D
Thought it was too soon to
                 A
tell but it was terribly old
            A   F#/A#
and as the heartbeat
 Bm         Em   D    F#
slows to a heartless crawl
G
The lights went out The lights
      D                A

Afraid to be cured again."

Mess we've made of it
Mess we've made of it
In years to come, it might make sense
Sweetness, did you foresee this?
So what's become of it? Just what's become
