Intro: 

A E D (2x) 

VERSE #1: 

A                     E 
Now the sun was in my eyes 
   D 
So forgive me if I was blind 
          A                E 
But I can suddenly see the light 
                   D 
Now the blinds are raised 

A                 E 
Now she's finally spoken 
D 
Winter's finally broken 
A           E 
Realize I'm heading 
           D 
For colder days 

BRIDGE #1: 

       Bm                      E 
He can feel it just around the corner 
       Bm               E 
He can feel it on every breath 
              Bm                          E 
And something tells him it's good goodbye summer 
              Bm                         E 
And something tells him it's the kiss of death 

A Losing at the tracks (I smell) E Loosens all his taps (Winter) D I smell winter on his breath A There's a chill down my spine (I smell) E But the weather's fine (Winter) D I smell winter on his breath
A E D (1x) VERSE #2: A E You better button up your coat D Or it will catch you in the pit of the throat A E You can certainly feel the wind blow D When you're by yourself A E And when the snow has finally melted D You better think about who you shelter A 'Cos one of these days E D It might just be someone else BRIDGE #2: Bm E And he's searched underground and overground for a partner Bm E Played his harmonica 'til his lips were raw Bm E He's looked through tins and rubbish bins just for an answer Bm E So far each year he's drawn the shortest straw
A Losing at the tracks (I smell) E Loosens all his taps (Winter) D I smell winter on his breath A There's a chill down my spine (I smell) E But the weather's fine (Winter) D I smell winter on his breath A E D I smell winter A E D I smell winter A E D I smell winter A E D I smell winter
BRIDGE #3: (Same as #2, but played with muted strings) Bm E And he's searched underground and overground for a partner Bm E Played his harmonica 'til his lips were raw Bm E He's looked through tins and rubbish bins just for an answer Bm E So far each year he's drawn the shortest straw
A Losing at the tracks (I smell) E Loosens all his taps (Winter) D I smell winter on his breath A There's a chill down my spine (I smell) E But the weather's fine (Winter) D I smell winter on his breath A E D I smell winter A E D I smell winter A E D I smell winter
