Northern Lights

INTRO:
C

VERSE:
F                             C
 In the last days before the end
F                           C
Of summer then the snow descends

 F                      Am        
She led me through her town to see
     G
 the opera

F                      Am        
I pictured all of the places I 
    G
could go with her


CHORUS:
     C          F
And I've never seen
     Am       G
The Northern Lights
Em    F
Or a sun
           Am      G
That won't set at night


VERSE:
F                             C
We drank the wine upon your shelf
F                   C
I tried behaving myself

 F
Maybe you thought that you could
 Am         G
Hold me responsible

 F
But then you realized that that's
Am        G
Not even possible

CHORUS:
 Em         F
I've never seen
     Am       G
The Northern Lights
Em    F
Or a sun
           Am      G
That won't set at night


VERSE:
                      Am
You told me how your scar was made
            G            F
At that my car was now snowed in

                              Am
You sort of laughed at the attempts 
I made
               G            F
And took your medicine and gin

Em F  Am G
Em F  Am G


BDA K:
           (F)     C
Though the winter sun
     E      Am
Low shadow casts
   F        C
Across the harbour
E7         Am
And empty masts

     F       C
The Viking ghosts
     E      Am  G
And frozen trees
         F                 C   
And the empty streets she walked 
         Dm
with me


VERSE:
                         Am
You showed me where the bomb went 
off
         G                 F
And the way you walked to school

                              Am
Through the forest where you used to
 live
           G              F
Where the winters are so cruel


CHORUS:
 Em         F
I've never seen
     Am       G
The Northern Lights
Em    F
Or a sun
           Am      G
That won't set at night

Em         F
You never knew
    Am       G
And I'm not sure
   Em         F
If I don't belong
     Am  G
Here anymore
