Cm                             Gm
Christmas flared amongst us and
                F
We called it evergreen
Cm                          Gm
Built a world without your love
                 F
And I built it mean

Christmas flared amongst us
And we called it evergreen
Built a world without your love
Now I'm all out at sea

Chorus:
D#                   A#
Take me back to the catacombs,
      F/A            D#
I am tempted by her love
                       A#
Bluest eyes against my own skin,
        F/A                 D#
I have never been so caught up
                     A#
Looking around I see memories,
        F/A               D#
what it was, oh, what it was
                              A#
There in the crowds you said something
      F/A             D#
but I can't remember what

       D#
And my mother cursed the town for
Cm   Gm  A#  F
Clo-sing me down
Cm   Gm  A#  F
Clo-sing me down

Chorus:
Take me back to the catacombs
I am tempted by her love
Bluest eyes against my own skin
I have never been so caught up
Looking around I see memories
What it was, oh, what it was
There in the lights you said something
But I can't remember what

And my mother cursed the town
For closing me down
Closing me down
