Em
Was a long and dark December

From the rooftops I remember
                 C
There was snow
           Am
White snow

Clearly I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below

                C
When the future's architectured
        D                             Em
By a carnival of idiots on show
                        D
You'd better lie low

          C
If you love me
                D         Em
Won't you let me know?

Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And the fog became God

Priests clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And the cross was held aloft

Bury me in armor
When I'm dead and hit the ground
And loves a poem, that unfolds

If you love me
Won't you let me know?

I don't want to be a soldier
With the captain of some sinking ship
Would stow, far below

So if you love me
Why'd you let me go?

C              Em               G        D
I took my love down to violet hill
C             Em     C
There we sat in snow
            Em                 G        D
All that time she was silent, still

So if you love me
Won't you let me know?

If you love me,
Won't you let me know?
