[Intro]
Cdim Bb F Eb C5 G5 Bb F Eb
[Verse 1]
Cdim Bb F Eb
Baby I love you, but that\’s not enough
C5 Bb F Eb
And pulling away has been unbearably buff
Cdim Bb F Eb
I ran up the mountain, out of your sight
C5 Bb F Eb
The snow on the peak was just unbearably white
Riff 2:
Cdim Bb Cdim Bb
Cdim Bb F Eb
The city was freezing, an elegant flow
C5 Bb F Eb
The wind at the doorway was unbearably cold
Cdim Bb F Eb
You walked to the bedroom and sat down to write
C5 Bb F Eb
The page in your notebook was unbearably white
[Chorus 1]
Cm Gm F
There\’s an avalanche coming, don\’t cover your eyes
Cm Gm F
It\’s what you thought that you wanted, it\’s still a surprise
Cm Gm F
It\’s hard on the body, it\’s hard on the mind
D Gm
To learn what kept us together, darling
Cm F
Is what kept us alive
[Verse 2]
C5 Bb F Eb
Sooner or later, the story gets told
C5 Bb F Eb
To tell it myself would be unbearably bold
C5 Bb F Eb
Presented with darkness, we turn to the light
C5 Bb F Eb
Could\’ve been smart, we\’re just unbearably bright
[Chorus 2]
Cm Gm F
There\’s an avalanche coming, don\’t cover your eyes
Cm Gm F
It\’s what you thought that you wanted, it\’s still a surprise
Cm Gm F
It\’s hard on the body, it\’s hard on the mind
D Gm
To learn what kept us together, darling
Cm F
Is what kept us alive
