F#m
couldn’t shake the cold away
  F                 C                  F       C
a year alone, stock still and stuck in snow
Am
two black eyes, this phoney smile
 G#                D#     G#
my senses dead, my body bent in ice
     Cm
then you took off your winter clothes
        B                        F#        B       F#
and you leaned against with your eager innocence

[Verse 2]
   D#m
my brittle knotted wrists twitched
     D A
reaching out
                D      A
reaching out for it
           D   A
reaching out
                 F#m
reaching out for it

F#                                Bm           D           F#
when we’re running from the hospital, don’t stop. don’t stop.
                                             Bm            D          F#
though the guards’ll call, and the cops’ll come, don’t stop. don’t stop.
                                      Bm            D          F#
they do not know us. we don’t stop because of our love. our love.
                                                          Bm            D             F#
and we don’t need their law, like the paper it’s written on, it will fade. it will melt away.
      Bm         D                  F#
like snow, it runs to the river below
      Bm         D                  F#
like snow, it runs to the river below
