B
When Winter falls
E
Next year I'll
   G#m
be holding on
   F#
To anything nailed down
B
As for being patient
E
with fate and all
     G#m
it's getting old
       F#
And my mind is
slowly changing

    G#m
I'm calling all
my oldest friends
        F#
Saying "sorry for
this mess we're in"
         E
And I'm waiting
Em              G#m
waiting For the Sun to
come and melt this snow
      F#
wash away the pain and give
             E      Em
me back control control

Chorus:
B
An angel got his wings
           E
And we'll hold our heads
   D#m               G#m
up knowing that he's fine
                  D#m
We'd all be lucky to have
   C#m        B       F#/A# B
a love like that in a life time

Should we still set his plate?
Should we still save his chair?
Should we still buy him gifts?
And if we don't, did we not care?

It makes you think about the life you've led
Shit you've done, things you've said
And it's grounding, grounding
I've been feeling three feet tall this month
Hardly indestructible
But the snow melts, and the rhythm still goes on

Chorus

B
Friends stay side by side
    E
In life and death you've
D#m             G#m
always stole my heart
                      D#m
You'll always mean so much to
 C#m     B         F#/A#
me it's hard to believe this

E                   B
These nights in vans
E                   B
These nights in bars
E             F#
Don't mean a thing
           G#m
with empty hearts
E    F#
with empty hearts

Chorus:
An angel got his wings
And we'll hold our heads up knowing
that he's fine
We'd all be lucky to have a love
like that in a lifetime

Friends stay side by side
In life and death you've always stole my heart
You've always meant so much to me,
it's hard to believe
So much to me, it's hard to believe
So much to me, it's hard to believe this
