[Verse 1]
Cdim   Bb                   F    Eb
Baby I love you, but that's not enough
    Cm7      Gm7               F     Eb
And pullin' away has been unbearably buff
  Cdim       Bb            F       Eb
I ran up the mountain, out of your sight
    Cm7         Gm7                F     Eb
The snow on the peak was just unbearably white

[Verse 2]
    Cdim     Bb              F    Eb
The city was freezing, an elegant flow
    Cm7         Gm7              F     Eb
The wind at the doorway was unbearably cold
    Cdim          Bb              F       Eb
You walked to the bedroom and sat down to write
    Cm7          Gm7               F     Eb
The page in your notebook was unbearably white

[Chorus 1]
Cm7                             Gm7                   F7
    There's an avalanche coming,   don't cover your eyes
Cm7                                       Gm7                   F7
    It's what you thought that you wanted,   it's still a surprise
Cm7                       Gm7                   F7
    It's hard on the body,   it's hard on the mind
D7                         Gm7
   To learn what kept us together, darling
Cm7                   F7
    Is what kept us alive

(Repeat riff 1)


[Verse 3]
Cdim      Bb               F    Eb
Sooner or later, the story gets told
   Cm7       Gm7                F     Eb
To tell it myself would be unbearably bold
Cdim           Bb                F      Eb
Presented with darkness, we turn to the light
Cm7           Gm7                    F     Eb
Could've been smart, we're just unbearably bright

(Repeat riff 2)


[Chorus 2]
Cm7                             Gm7                   F7

Cm7                                       Gm7                   F7

Cm7                       Gm7                   F7
    It's hard on the body,   it's hard on the mind
D7                         Gm7
   To learn what kept us together, darling

    Is what kept us alive
