1. As the winter winds litter London with lonely hearts,

G D Em C

oh, the warmth in your eyes swept me into your arms.

G D Em C

Was it love or fear of the cold that led us through the night ?

G D Em C

for every kiss your beauty trumped my doubt.

C G C G D

And my head told my heart : "Let love grow !"

C G C G D G

But my heart told my head : "This time no, this time no."

G D Em C

2. We'll be washed and buried one day, my girl,

G D Em C

and the time we were given will be left for the world.

G D Em C

The flesh that lived and loved will be eaten by plague,

G D Em C

so let the memories be good for those who stay.

C G C G D

And my head told my heart : "Let love grow !"

C G C G D

But my heart told my head : "This time no.”

C G C G D G

Yes, my heart told my head : "This time no, this time no."

G D Em C

+ Oh, the shame that sent me off from the God that I once loved

G D C

was the same that sent me into your arms.

G D Em C

Oh, and pestilence is won when you are lost and I am gone,

G D C

and no hope, no hope will overcome.

G D Em C

3. But if your strife strikes at your sleep,

G D Em C

remember spring swaps snow for leaves.

G D Em C

You'll be happy and wholesome again

G D Em C

when the city clears and sun ascends.
