[Intro]
| Fadd9 | - | C | - |
| Fadd9 | - | C | - |

[Verse 1]
    Fadd9        C
And meet me there
Bundles of flowers
                                Fadd9
We'll wade through the hours of cold 
   C
Winter, she'll howl at the walls
                      Fadd9
Tearing down doors of time 
    C
Shelter as we go
Fadd9 C Fadd9 C    Fadd9     C
               And promise me this

[Verse 2]
You'll wait for me only
                     Fadd9
Scared of the lonely arms 
   C                    Fadd9
Surface, far below these     burns

[Chorus]
C Fadd9 C Fadd9       G7add11/B
               And maybe, just maybe,
              C
I'll come home
Am7 C Am7

[Bridge]
C
Oh, who am I, darling to you?
Who am I?
                 Am7
Will tell you stories of mine
Who am I?
C
Oh, who am I, darling for you?
Who am I?
             Am7
Will be a burden in time, lonely
Who am I to you?
C
 And who am I, darling for you?
Who am I?
             Am7
Will be a burden
And who am I, darling to you?
Who am I?
            C
I come alone here
            Am7
I come alone   here
