B
 Stop the clocks, it's amazing
E
 You should see the way
 The light dances off your hair
 F#                    G#m                E
 A million colours of hazel, golden and red
B
 Saturday morning is fading
E
 The sun's reflected by the coffee in your hand
F#                          G#m             E
 My eyes are caught in your gaze all over again

         E
We were love drunk, waiting on a miracle
           B                     F#
Trying to find ourselves in the winter snow
     E                                    B    F#
So alone in love like the world had disappeared
       E
Oh, I won't be silent and I won't let go
        B                       F#
I will hold on tighter 'til the afterglow
           E
And we'll burn so bright 'til
                      B   F#
the darkness softly clears

            E                      B  F#
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
            E                      B
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow

B
 The weather outside's changing
E
 The leaves are buried under six inches of white
F#              G#m            E
 The radio is playing, Iron & Wine
B
 This is a new dimension
E
 This is a level where we're losing track of time
F#                     G#m                      E
 I'm holding nothing against it, except you and I

          E
 We were love drunk, waiting on a miracle
        B                     F#
 Tryna find ourselves in the winter snow
      E
 So alone in love like
                           B  F#
 The world had disappeared
        E
 Oh, I won't be silent and I won't let go
         B                       F#
 I will hold on tighter 'til the afterglow
            E
 And we'll burn so bright 'til
                       B    F#
 The darkness softly clears

            E                      B  F#
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
            E                      B  F#
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
             E
 Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
