D
'Lo and behold your mother is drinking again 
D 
This might be the coldest winter since records began 
Em                                   D
You were alone and steady with wintry calm 
Em                                   D
Leading the children softly across the fold 

(same as verse 1) :)
In the morning you march your sisters like soldiers to school 
'Cause lo and behold your father has drunk quite a few 
You were alone and steady with wintry calm 
Somewhere inside the fire of your youth went dark 


Em                                                   D
But you swear blind there is no weight in the water pail 
Em                                            D   
There's no guiding light arcing a line to Bethlehem 
Em                                                     D
And you say 'my love, you take the cards that you're dealt' 
Em                                               D
And when it's dark outside, you light the fire yourself 


G
Darling when the ice caps melt 
G
When the devils in the bible belt 
G                       D
Don't you cower in your bed 
G
I'll be at the five-four-five 
G
You can meet me at the railway line 
G                 D
Don't look so scared

Em                                                         D
'Cause we've been through worse than this before we could talk 

G                                        D
And the trick of it is, don't be afraid anymore 
Em                                       D   
Oh, the trick of it is, don't be afraid anymore x2
