(First time through, play D string and higher)
             
A cold winter sun
                    
My feet underground 
               
A pale windless city
                 
A numbness for sound 
                 
I'll wait, back here
               
All that you notice
                  
A moment in time 
              
A photograph lost here
                
Since you were mine
                   
I'll wait back here 
                              
Or should I start pushing my way back 
 
Yeah... 
                          
Should I start pushing my way back 

(Same as verse 1 chord progression)
I walk past your room 
In deep silhouette 
You're tired of racing 
You're down and I said 

I'll wait, back here 
A cold end, an evening 
A soaked cigarette 
I'm asleep on a shoulder that I've never met 
I'll wait back here 
Or should I, start pushing my way back 
Yeah... 
Should I start pushing my way 
home 

F#maj                             
Cold, and the whiskey is wearing
                            
And I'm on the edge of my breath 
F#maj
Ohh...
            
And I'm thinking of leaving 

I could just lay down 
                         * *
Lay down and freeze to death. 
                
Yeah... Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
   
Ohhh.... 

  * *   
Yeah... 
            
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
             
Ohhh....  Hold on

(Opening Chord Progression)
A cold winter sun 
My feet underground 
A pale windless city 
A numbness for sound
