G#m E x4
[Verse 1]
G#m E
She wanted to go out late to see the outskirts of the city
G#m E
On the city walls above here late one night.
G#m E
Through the snowstorms in the distance we could see the way the world curved
G#m E
And the bonfire glow of lights from other towns.
[Verse 2]
G#m E G#m E
The snowfall it came sooner than anyone could've predicted and I Pulled your hand inside my jacket sleeve
G#m E
In the other hand I held the tiny pinecone in my pocket,
G#m E
Which was closed up like a shellfish in my hand.
[Instrumental - Chorus]
A C#m G#m E
[Verse 5]
G#m E
I'm not fooling you I don't know anyone in this city,
G#m E
And I don't know you, you don't really know me
G#m E G#m E
But I wanted you to stay here more that anyone could've predicted as I held your hand inside my jacket sleeve.
[Verse 6]
G#m E
The soft shoes of the tourists made the whole place jump with static,
G#m E
from the starlit ballrooms not too far from here.
G#m E
The lights on in tall buildings they were blinking in the distance
G#m E
like a morse code signal from the wind and trees.

[Verse 9]
C#m E
She wanted to go out late to see the outskirts of the city
C#m E
On the city walls above here late one night.
C#m E
Through the snowstorms all around us we could see the way the world curved
C#m E
And the bonfire glow of lights from other towns
[Verse 11]
G#m E
And I wanted you to stay here more than anyone could've predicted
G#m E
And I pulled your hand inside my jacket sleeve.
G#m E
In the other hand I held the tiny pinecone in my pocket,
G#m E
Which was still closed up like a shellfish in my hand.
