VERSE 1: Bm Was a long and dark December From the rooftops I remember G Em There was snow, white snow Bm Clearly I remember from the windows G They were watching while we froze Em Down below CHORUS: G When the future's architectured A Bm By a carnival of idiots on show A You'd better lie low G F#m D Bm A Bm If you love me, won’t you let me know? VERSE 2: Bm Was a long and dark December When the banks became cathedrals G Em And a fox became God Bm Priests clutched onto bibles Hollowed out to fit their rifles G Em And the cross was held aloft CHORUS: G Bury me an armour A When I’m dead and hit the ground Bm A My nerves are poles that unfroze G F#m D Bm A Bm If you love me, won’t you let me know? GUITAR SOLO: Bm Bm G Em CHORUS: G I don’t want to be a soldier A Who the captain of some sinking ship Bm Would stow A Far below G F#m D Bm A Bm So, if you love me, why’d you let me go? OUTRO: D G D Bm A G I took my love down to Violet Hill A Bm F#m G There we sat in the snow G A Bm Em D Bm A All that time she was silent still F#m G F#m D Bm A G Said if you love me, won’t you let me know? F#m G F#m D Bm A Bm If you love me, won’t you let me know?
