C#                         F#
Welcome back, winter once again,
                G#
And put on your warm fuzzy sweater
    A#m                   F#
Cuz you'll feel much better when,
    C#                              F#
The snowflakes fall, gently to the ground.
                 G#
The temperature drops and your shivers
A#m                    F#
Freeze all the rivers around...

If speed's a pro, inertia must be a con
'Cause the cold wind blows at precise
rates when I've got my ice skates on
If all the roads were paved with ice
that wouldn't thaw or crack
I could skate from Maine to Nebraska,
then on to Alaska and back
'Cause you keep me warm

Chorus:
F#            G#            A#m
Peer over the edge. Can you see me?
F#              G#      A#m
Rivulets flow from your eyes
F#                    G#          A#m
Paint runs from your mouth like a waterfall
F#        C#          G#
And your lungs crystalize.

F#               G#       A#m
I'll travel the sub-zero tundra
F#                        G#   A#m
I'll brave glaciers and frozen lakes
F#                   G#        A#m
And that's just the tip of the iceberg
F#         C#        G#
I'll do whatever it takes

G#               C#  F#
Farewell powdery paradise
G#                        C#      F#
We'd rather skate on the thinnest ice
G#                  C#         F#
Fingers failed us before they froze
G#                    C#       F#
Frostbite bit down on all our toes

Chorus:
Snow drifts build up and enfold us
As we wait out this winter storm
So we snuggle close in the darkness
And keep each other so warm
