D Bm G D
D
You were so smart then,
Bm
In your jacket and coat,
A
My softest red scarf was,
D
Warming your throat.
D
Winter was on us,
Bm
At the end of my nose,
G (A?) D
And I never love England more than when covered in snow.
Bm A
Well a friend of mine says it's good to hear,
G D
You believe in love even if set in fear,
Bm A
Well I'll hold you there brother and set you straight,
G D A
I only believe true love is frail and willing to break.
D
I will come back here,
Bm
Bring me back when I'm old,
A
I want to lay here,
D
Forever in the cold,
D
I might be cold but,
Bm
I'm just skin and bone,
G (A?) D
And I never love England more than when covered in snow.

And it's too good to be used,

And I tried to be a girl who likes to be used,

I'm too good for that,
G
There's a mind under this hat and I,
Bm D
Called them all and told them i've got to move.
D Bm
I'm out of love, it's too hard,
Bm Bm
I'm all alone, it's too hard,

Feel like running, feel like running,

Running off.

And we will keep you, we will keep you little one

Safe from harm, like an extra arm
D
You are part of us.

You were so smart then,

In your jacket and coat,
A
My softest red scarf was,
D
Warming your throat.

Left the end of my nose,
G (A?) D
And I never love England more than when covered in snow.
