    C          F
The darkness, the coal mines knew it best
Am                        F             G
When the daylight headed west and disappeared
    C        F
Progression, on the morning goes
     Am                  F                 G
But regardless no one knows the day has cleared
           F
Oh we are blind

G Am 
F G C

F                          G      Am
I'll be the flowers of the field that slowly bloom
F                              G       C
While you are soundly sleeping on the ground
F                             G         Am
And I'll be your escort in a sad waltz around the room
F                            G       C
I'll twirl you all around without a sound

C  F  C  Am  F  C  F  C  Am  F  G

    C              F
The snowfall, the great lakes know it best
           Am            F            G
When the summers travel west and disappear
    C               F
Like dry ice, the snowcaps on the hills
          Am         F                G
Melt like 50 dollar bills of our new year
           F 
Oh we are cold

G Am

F                          G      Am
I'll be the flowers of the field that slowly bloom
F                              G       C
While you are soundly sleeping on the ground
F                             G         Am
And I'll be your escort in a sad waltz around the room
F                            G       C
I'll twirl you all around without a sound

F                         G             Am
We're trying hard to alleviate this dizzy feeling
F                                G          C
We're skipping meals because it feels that bad
F                          G              Am
If we survive we'll stay alive below the ceiling
F                                G                C
Of new atmospheres and brighter years that we'll have
