C#m Was a long and dark December From the rooftops I remember A F#m There was snow, white snow C#m Clearly I remember from the windows A They were watching while we froze F#m Down below Chorus: A When the future's architectured B C#m By a carnival of idiots on show B You'd better lie low A G#m E C#m B C#m If you love me, won’t you let me know? Was a long and dark December When the banks became cathedrals And a fox became God Priests clutched onto bibles Hollowed out to fit their rifles And a cross was held aloft Chorus: Bury me in armor When I'm dead and hit the ground My nerves are poles that unfroze And if you love me, won't you let me know? A I don’t want to be a soldier B Who the captain of some sinking ship C#m Would stow B Far below A G#m E C#m B C#m So, if you love me, why’d you let me go? E A E C#m B A I took my love down to Violet Hill B C#m G#m A There we sat in the snow A B C#m F#m E C#m B All that time she was silent still G#m A G#m E C#m B A Said if you love me, won’t you let me know? G#m A G#m E C#m B C#m If you love me, won’t you let me know?
