[Verse 1]
Eb       Bb               Cm
As I set sail for parts unknown
          Bb           Eb
There was weather everywhere
         F
And a pretender on the throne
Eb          Bb   Eb        Bb                  Cm
As I looked back... I lost track and could not find
Bb                 Eb                F
One silver tongued pleaser who could... rise to the times

[Verse 2]
  Gm       Dm       Gm      F
I meant to find out who I’d be
   Gm         Dm      Gm       Cm
If you hadn’t put the words on me
Bb                Gm
I’m going where I need to go
Bb            Gm            Eb
I had to grow up and throw away
     Bb             Cm
Your maps and geography

[Chorus]
Ab               Eb
When I come back... if I come back
Bb                   Cm
I swear that I’ll be simpler
Ab               Eb
When I come back... if I come back
Bb          F       Gm
I’ll have a mind of winter
Bb          F       Gm
I’ll have a mind of winter

[Verse 3]
Eb         Bb                Cm
No land in sight and lost at sea
Bb                     Eb
There was blame in the fog
            F
And fingers pointing back at me
Eb           Bb    Eb              Bb            Cm
I fell to my knees among the birds and the dying bees
Bb                   Eb              F
And tried to find my tongue to trace... the maiden name of God

[Verse 4]
Gm         F       Gm       F
I draped myself in nature’s wounds
   Gm     F       Gm       Cm
To see if I could hear the tune
Bb                  Gm
I don’t know what I need to know
Bb              Gm            Eb
Just gotta grow up and throw away
     Bb            Cm
Your deadly philosophy

[Chorus]
Ab               Eb
When I come back... if I come back
Bb                   Cm
I swear that I’ll be simpler
Ab               Eb
When I come back... if I come back
Bb          F       Gm
I’ll have a mind of winter
Bb          F       Gm
I’ll have a mind of winter

[Outro]
Bb F Gm
Bb          F       Gm
I’ll have a mind of winter
