[verse 1] C#m Was a long and dark December From the rooftops I remember A F#m There was snow, white snow C#m Clearly I remember from the windows A They were watching while we froze F#m Down below [chorus] A When the future's architectured B C#m By a carnival of idiots on show B You'd better lie low A G#m E C#m B C#m If you love me, won’t you let me know? [verse 2] C#m Was a long and dark December When the banks became cathedrals A F#m And a fox became God C#m Priests clutched onto bibles Hollowed out to fit their rifles A F#m And the cross was held aloft [chorus] A Bury me an armour B When I’m dead and hit the ground C#m B My nerves are poles that unfroze A G#m E C#m B C#m If you love me, won’t you let me know? [solo] x2 C#m C#m A F#m [chorus] A I don’t want to be a soldier B Who the captain of some sinking ship C#m Would stow B Far below A G#m E C#m B C#m So, if you love me, why’d you let me go? [outro] E A E C#m B A I took my love down to Violet Hill B C#m G#m A There we sat in the snow A B C#m F#m E C#m B All that time she was silent still G#m A G#m E C#m B A Said if you love me, won’t you let me know? G#m A G#m E C#m B C#m If you love me, won’t you let me know?
