Tom: E

E                      A
No one told me I would suffer
C#m                    A
No one told me I would grieve
E                                A
They told me to live the way you want to
C#m                      A
You still inherit eternity


[Chorus]
C#m
Swept away in the dead of a winter
   A
Is only when I cry out for my lover
E                    B
Then I'll move along, I'll move along
C#m
Summer comes and I look to no one
A
Till the leaves start changing colour
E                       B
Then I'll pray it alone, I'll pray it alone


[Verse 2]
E                               A
Now there are moments when I am faithful
C#m                     A
But I do it for worldly gain
E                              A
And if it doesn't come, I will see then
C#m                           A
Run to wrong myself self-restraint, yeah

[Chorus]
C#m
Swept away in the dead of a winter
   A
Is only when I cry out for my lover
E                    B
Then I'll move along, I'll move along
C#m
Summer comes and I look to no one
A
Till the leaves start changing colour
E                       B
Then I'll pray it alone, I'll pray it alone
