verse 1 
 
Em 
Walking in my sleep 
Em 
Like the naked trees 
          G 
Will they wake up again? 
        A7sus4 
Do they sleep, do they dream? 
 
Em                  Em          
Feel it as the wind strokes my skin 
     G           
I am moved by the chill 
         A7sus4 
Hear the winter bird sing 
Em   G D 
Ah... 
 
   C 
My tears are always frozen 
      Am 
I can see the air I breathe 
       Em 
But my fingers paint a picture 
       D 
On the glass in front of me 
       C 
Lay me by the frozen river 
          Am 
Where the bones have passed me by 
      Em 
All I need is to remember 
       D 
How it was to feel alive 
 
verse 2 
 
Em             Em 
Silent things, violent chase 
       G 
We are dancing again 
     A7sus4 
In a dream, by the lake 
Em   D 
Ah... 
 
   C 
My tears are always frozen 
      Am 
I can see the air I breathe 
       Em 
But my fingers paint a picture 
       D 
On the glass in front of me 
       C 
Lay me by the frozen river 
          Am 
Where the bones have passed me by 
      Em 
All I need is to remember 
       D 
How it was to feel alive 
 
Bridge 
 
Em 
Rest against my pillow like the ageing winter sun 
Em   G                 A7sus4 
Only wake each morning to remember that you're gone 
Em   G           A7sus4 
So I drift away again, to winter I belong 
Em   G D 
Ah.... 
 
C Am Em D 
Ah.... 
   C 
My tears are always frozen 
      Am 
I can see the air I breathe 
       Em 
But my fingers paint a picture 
       D 
On the glass in front of me 
       C 
Lay me by the frozen river 
          Am 
Where the bones have passed me by 
      Em 
All I need is to remember 
       D 
How it was to feel alive 
 
Outro 
 
   C               
My tears are always frozen 
Am 
Ah... 
   Em 
My tears are always frozen 
D 
Ah... 
   C 
My tears are always frozen 
Am      Em  D 
Ah... 
 
      G   
All I need is to remember 
       Em 
How it was to feel alive 
  G 
I need to remember 
       Em 
How it was to feel alive
