NOTE TO SELF: CAPO 1



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

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
