C# (8 beats) F# (8 beats)
Welcome back, winter once again,
G# (4 beats)
And put on your warm fuzzy sweater
A#m (4 beats) F# (4 beats)
Cuz you'll feel much better...when,
---Follow this timing pattern for other verses------
C# F#
The snowflakes fall, gently to the ground.
G#
The temperature drops and your shivers
A#m F#
Freeze all the rivers around...
PRECHORUS
F# (2 beats) G# (2 beats) A#m (4 beats)
But I keep you warm
F# G# A#m
F# G# A#m
F# C# G# <---- - Changes last time thru
VERSE
If speed's a pro, Inertia must be a con
Cuz the cold wind blows at precise rates
When I've got my ice skates on
If all the roads were paved with ice that wouldn't thaw or crack
I could skate from Maine to Nebraska
then on to Alaska, and back
PRECHORUS
F# (2 beats) G# (2 beats) A#m (4 beats)
Cuz you keep me warm
F# G# A#m
F# G# A#m
F# C# G#
CHORUS
F# G# A#m
Peer over the edge. Can you see me?
F# G# A#m
Rivulets flow from your eyes
F# G# A#m
Paint runs from your mouth like a waterfall
F# C# G#
And your lungs crystalize.
F# G# A#m
I'll travel the sub-zero tundra
F# G# A#m
I'll brave glaciers and frozen lakes
F# G# A#m
And that's just the tip of the iceberg
F# C# G#
I'll do whatever it takes
To change...

G# C# F#
Farewell powdery paradise
G# C# F#
We'd rather skate on the thinnest ice
G# C# F#
Fingers failed us before they froze
G# C# F#
Frostbite bit down on all our toes
F# G# A#m
Snow drifts build up and enfold us
F# G# A#m
As we wait out this winter storm
F# G# A#m
So we snuggle close in the darkness
F# C# G# C#
And keep each other soooooo.... warm
