Intro: D-Am-C-G (x2) D

Am       G                 D            Am
The wind blows through the snow on your roof,
        G              D
I needed you to keep me true,
        Am                  C                  G       D
I needed proof that you stil loved me, you still loved me,
Am      G                 D                Am
I had a dream that I came clean and you forgave me,
          G                  D
Out of all harm and into your arms,
        Am                    C                 G     D
I always dreamt that you would save me, you would save me.

C           G     D             Am             C
When you're going south you can feel it in the air,
           G                D
And you can taste it in your mouth,
            Am              C              G    D
You get that feeling and you know without a doubt,
            Am  G  D
You're going down.

Am        G                 D              Am
Someday I know that I'll be old and I'll regret it,
           G                    D               
But now I'm young and I need someone,
       Am                 C               G     D
To help me try and just forget it, just forget it.

C           G     D             Am             C
When you're going south you can feel it in the air,
           G                D
And you can taste it in your mouth,
            Am              C              G    D
You get that feeling and you know without a doubt,
            Am  G  D
You're going down,
            Am    G   D
You're going down, down.

Instrumental: Am-C-G-D (x3)

C           G     D             Am             C
When you're going south you can feel it in the air,
           G                D
And you can taste it in your mouth,
            Am              C              G    D
You get that feeling and you know without a doubt.

Instrumental: Am-C-G-D (repeat to end)
