INTRO: Am  G     Am  G    Am


There is a tundra 
                   G
There is the snow___
                      Am
There is a sorrow that won't let go

There is a river
                   G
That's frozen now___
                       Am              E
There is a grace that I cannot allow 


CHORUS:

It's so dark here
                 Am
And it's so cold___
                      F         E
That everything could splinter

Don't be afraid 
                  Am
To look down upon___
                         F       Am
This heart that lives in winter
     G                   Am      G Am   G Am
This heart that lives in winter



There is a circle
                 G
There is a line___
                      Am
There is a hill that I cannot climb

There is a fire
                        G
And it's burning below___
                                 Am                E
And it will not die though these winds will blow   


CHORUS:

It's so dark here
                 Am
And it's so cold___
                      F         E
That everything could splinter

Don't be afraid 
                  Am
To look down upon___
                         F       Am
This heart that lives in winter
     G                   Am      G Am   G Am
This heart that lives in winter


INTERLUDE: 
      G           Am
Ho ho ho, ho-o ho ho ho
      G           Am
Ho ho ho, ho-o ho ho
      G           Am
Ho ho ho, ho-o ho ho ho
      G         Am    G Am   G Am
Ho ho ho, ho ho ho




There's always a king
                G
Always a queen___
   
Always a hollow place
Am
Somewhere in between

But there is a lesson
                               G
And it's waiting in the night___

And always a search
      Am               E
For a soothing light


CHORUS:

It's so dark here
                 Am
And it's so cold___
                      F         E
That everything could splinter

Don't be afraid 
                  Am
To look down upon___
                         F       Am
This heart that lives in winter
     G                   F       Am
This heart that lives in winter 
     G                   Am    
This heart that lives in winter
