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

CHORUS:

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

CHORUS:

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

CHORUS:

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
