Undertow

        Esus  E                   
     The curtains are drawn now 
  C#m             A
the fire warms the room
           Am      Esus   Bm     
     Meanwhile, outside, wind 
                            C#m
from the north-east chills the air
                             F#m
     It will soon be snowing out 
       D  A
there
          Am         Esus  Bm    
     And some, there are, cold 
                            C#m
they prepare for a sleepless night
                              F#m  
     Maybe this will be their last 
      D  A
fight
               C#m                 
     But we're safe in each other's
     A              C#m           
 embrace, all fears go as I look 
        A
on your face

              D      E      Bm   
     Better think awhile or I may
         D     A
 never think again
                       D         
     If this were the last day of 
       G             Gm
your life my friend
  F#m                              
     Tell me what do you think you 
       B
would do then

       E                 Amaj7
     Stand up to the blow     that 
fate has struck upon you
      E                  Amaj7
     Make the most of all     you 
still have coming to you
     F#m              F#m7  B
     Lay down on the ground  and let
 the tears run from you

     C#m             A            
     Crying to the grass and trees
      B
 and heaven finally on your knees

      E               Amaj7
     Let me live again     let life 
come find me wanting
        E                    Amaj7
     Spring must strike again     
against the shield of winter
     F#m              F#m7  B
     Let me feel once more   the 
arms of love surround me
     C#m             A            
     Telling me the danger's past,
   G#sus             G#          C#
 I need not fear the icy blast again

     Esus  E                C#m  
     Laughter and music and 
           A
perfume linger here
           Am       Esus    
     And there, and there, wine 
Bm                                 
flows from flask to glass and mouth
C#m

                             F#m
     As it soothes confusing our 
        D  A
doubts
          Am      Esus  Bm       
     And soon, we feel, why do a 
               C#m
single thing today
                              F#m
     There's tomorrow sure as I'm 
      D  A
here
            C#m                
     So the days they turn into 
   A         C#m                 A
years, and still no tomorrow appears

              D      E      Bm   
     Better think awhile or I may
         D     A
 never think again
                       D         
     If this were the last day of 
       G             Gm
your life my friend
  F#m                              
     Tell me what do you think you 
       B
