[Intro] F

F      F/E F       F/E Dm   A    Bb      F     F
And if the snow buries my   / My neighborhood
    F             F/E F                  F/E      Dm
And if my parents are crying / Then I'll dig a tunnel
     A     Bb     F            F/E  Dm       A     Bb     F      F   F
from my window to yours / Yeah a tunnel from my window to yours

F         F/E     F                     F/E    Dm
You climb out the chimney / And meet me in the middle
    A      Bb     F     F     F                    F/E  F
The middle of the town /  And since there's no one else around
       F/E      Dm              A          Bb      F
We let our hair grow long / And forget all we used to know
         F/E       Dm             A          Bb     F
Then our skin gets thicker / From living out in the snow

F                    F/E    F                F/E
  You change all the lead /   Sleepin' in my head
Dm                 Dm/E Dm                  Dm/E   C   C/D C/E C/F C/G
  As the day grows dim /  I hear you sing a golden hymn

F . . . F . . .
[Instrumental]

F                F/E      F                  F/E         Dm
Then we tried to name our babies / But we forgot all the names that
    A        Bb      F      F
The names we used to know
    F               F/E        F                  F/E      Dm
But sometimes, we remember our bedrooms / And our parent's bedrooms
        A        Bb     F
And the bedrooms of our friends
        F/E          Dm             A        Bb
Then we think of our parents / Well whatever happened to them?
 
F                    F/E    F                F/E
  You change all the lead /   Sleepin' in my head
   Dm                      Dm/E  Dm                  Dm/E   C
To gold / As the day grows dim /   I hear you sing a golden hymn
    C/D                      C/E   C/F   C/G
The song I've been trying to say

F            F/E    F            F/E
  Purify the colors /  Purify my mind
Dm           Dm/E   Dm        Dm/E  C
  Purify the colors /  Purify my    mind
                                                        F
And spread the ashes of the colors / over this heart of mine
