A Cold Night Close to the End


    C5
Be sure to be quiet

In the middle of the night,
          F5
When the dogs are asleep and

The wind is high.
           C5
Grab out things and wait

by the window,
                       E5
I'll meet you by the window.


           F5
And we'll make no tracks
        G5
In the snow.
        C5          E5
We'll follow the lakes to where the
 A5                   F5
Cold north wind will
              G5
Cover for us both
   C5
So we can hide.

F5            G5
And if we survive
     C5              E5
The cold, and the night
        A5             F5
In the dead of winter,
                     G5
We'll watch the sun rise on the ice
     C5
Together

F5                 G5
And if we are to die tonight,
         C5         E5
In your arms I'll lay,
        A5               F5
And it never felt better;
                      G5
And at least we will leave here
   C5 
Together.


La da da da... [ F5 G5 C5 E5 A5 F5 G5 C5 ] x2


F5                    G5
In the still of the night
    C5                E5
My bare hands, your pale skin
   A5                        F5
Reflected in the moonlight.
                    G5
And we pray and we pray
        C5
To the wind.
     F5            G5
And your hand in my hand's
    C5           E5
As soft as the sunlight 
         A5            F5
When the day begins,
                     G5
And as cold as the night
       C5 
Blows in.



F5                 G5
And if we are to die tonight,
   C5            E5
I pray with my heart
               A5               
That you will love me forever
F5                     G5
And at least we will leave here
   C5 
Together.
