C#m

[Verse 1]

C#m
Was a long and dark December
C#m
From the rooftops I remember
A
There was snow
F#m
White snow
C#m
Clearly I remember
C#m
From the windows they were watching
         A          F#m
While we froze down below
A
When the future's architecture
B                      C#m
By a carnival of idiots on show
                B
You'd better lie low

[Chorus]

       A    E
If you love me
          F#m     C#m
Won't you let me know?

[Verse 2]

C#m
Was a long and dark December
C#m
When the banks became cathedrals
A
And the fog
F#m
Became God
C#m
Priests clutched onto bibles
C#m
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
A                    F#m
And the cross was held aloft
A
Bury me in armor
B
When I'm dead and hit the ground
             C#m         B
My nerves are poles that unfroze

[Chorus]

       A    E
If you love me
          F#m     C#m
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    E
So if you love me
          F#m    C#m
Why'd you let me go?

[Outro]

A           B          C#m     B
I took my love down to violet hill
A     B   C#m     B
There we sat in snow
A           B          C#m     B
All the time she was silent and still
          A    E
So if you love me
          F#m     C#m
Won't you let me know?
       A    E
If you love me
          F#m    C#m
Won't you let me know?
