[Strophe]
        C     G            Am                 F 
As the winter winds litter London with lonely hearts 
        C             G              Am         F 
Oh the warmth in your eyes swept me into your arms 
        C                 G           Am               F 
Was it love or fear of the cold that led us through the night? 
    C      G         Am                F 
For every kiss your beauty trumped my doubt
[Refrain]
       F            C 
And my head told my heart 
 F    C    G 
"Let love grow" 
       F             C 
But my heart told my head 
  F    C   G             C    F    C 
"This time no, this time no..."
[Strophe]
         C          G          Am     F 
We'll be washed and buried one day my girl 
         C          G              Am             F 
And the time we were given will be left for the world 
     C                    G            Am          F 
The flesh that lived and loved will be eaten by plague 
    C            G      Am                 F       F 
So let the memories be good for those who stay... hey!
[Refrain]
       F            C 
And my head told my heart 
 F    C    G 
"Let love grow" 
       F             C 
But my heart told my head 
  F    C   G 
"This time no"  
       F              C 
Yes my heart told my head 
  F    C   G              C     F      C 
"This time no, this time no ..."
(Strum chords only once)
[Strophe]
       C                  G            Am              F 
Oh the shame that sent me off from the God that I once loved 
        C                  G        F 
Was the same that sent me into your arms 
       C             G                Am            F 
Oh and pestilence is won when you are lost and I am gone 
       C        G            F 
And no hope, no hope will overcome 
  
(Bring back to normal strumming) 
     C       G             Am      F 
But if your strife strikes at your sleep 
  C             G     Am        F 
Remember spring swaps snow for leaves 
  C        G          Am       F 
You'll be happy and wholesome again 
         C     G         Am     F       F 
When the city clears and sun ascends... hey!
