Verse 1
Em 
C 
Em 
There's a cold layer of ice
C 
that holds around my door in
Am 
C 
Em 
the wintertime
C 
Em 
From a  cold prayer upon the breath
C 
Em 
Am 
Em 
a soul outpoured in that precious time
C 
Em 
You pulled the load before
C 
G 
Am 
And the only story they proposed to keep
Em 
Was turned to stone,
Am 
Em 
was turned to stone
There's a stowaway creepin' through the
Am 
Em 
cracks of the walls by my bedside
And the king laid all the
reasons on my brow
Am 
Em 
It's been a fragile mind
C 
It's the coal mine
Em 
weeping the whole thing down
C 
They're all your people,
Am 
Em 
don't you need them now?
C 
Em 
She cries, reason with the cold
C 
Em 
Gamble with the sun
C 
G 
Do what you must not
Am 
Em 
Not with my love
C 
Em 
Darling, darling, didn't you stare
C 
G 
Em 
Darling, didn't I see you standing there
G 
Em 
Am 
Beneath the weather
Em 
in the wintertime
There's a cold layer of ice
that holds around my breast
It burns all the time
Em 
Am 
Bm 
For the last prayer that lingers
B 
Am 
B 
from a hole in the ground
Am 
Em 
C 
D 
An  unsettled life
Em 
C 
Em 
C 
G 
Am 
you
