Capo 4th Fret

G           F**         Em    Em**
Tears falling slow.
           C/G                        C**      C/G
>From the bridge into the river below.
G             F**         Em      Em**
In your eyes I start to see.
          C/G                          C**     C/G
A starry veil and the oceans of infinity.


Chorus

Cm                               D
moon and stars above me.
G        Bm       Em      G        C
mingle with the blood inside my veins.
Cm                                  D
empty arms that should be
G            Bm            Em         G      C
holding me close through nights of winter rain.
G          Bm       Em                G              C
and I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain.
Cm                 D
It's colder than ever
G                F**   Em   Em**
coming down ............(then the whistling bit)
C

verse 2
G

Now I'm drowning in shallows
f**               Em     Em**
Cause I'm in so deep
C/G                               C**
There's neon melting in the rain
                             C/G
I took too much powder to sleep
G
When I hold you naked
F**                 Em      Em**
When I hear your laugh
               C/G              C**
I got a sword to stem the rivers
                     C/G
And cut the moon in half..

chorus
Cm                  D
Frozen stars above me
G       Bm        Em     G        C
Mingle with the blood inside my veins
Cm                                   D
Empty arms that should be
G             Bm            Em        G       C
Holding you close through nights of winter rain
G         Bm        Em                 G           C
And I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain
Cm                 D
It's colder than ever
G

F
coming down
B flat
coming do-- ----wn
                  D

Verse 3

we danced wild
kicked off our shoes
not a cloud in the the sky to confuse.
now the sky is cold and the sea is white
and there's nothing to be done except reflecting the sun
and scratching the mountain side
