Intro: G    G7    C    Cm

G
I've been sleeping far too long

My bodies waking with a song
      C                                        Cm
It's late October and the leaves blanket the ground
    G
And I see people hurry past
      G7
They chase the sun that's fading fast
      C                                     Cm
It's late November and the cold is rolling round

My darling we could while away the hours
      G
With stories of our future plans
   G7
Of cottages down by the sand
    C                                  Cm
Of children and a home that we've made ours

You'll give me your coat in exchange for my heart

A heart that's stayed hidden away for years
           G
And we'll warm up by the fire side
     G7
The place where first I called you mine
         C                                    Cm
And you promised there'd be no more need for tears
