        C                                                       F 
From behind a dirty window looking out onto the frozen sea of Sweden 
         Am                                                      G 
Dreaming of ice skating, on the back of a 2-for-1 I wrote you a letter 
             C                                                                    F 
Taking for granted where we've been, we found solace in the shattered dreams of England 
              Am                                                         G 
And we can't help the things we choose, and I pictured you singing the Silver Jews

I still wear my grandma's ring and you sometimes will wear your granddad's tie 
      Am                                                                  G 
These days it's hard not to measure by what you've lost but what you can find 
               C                                                   F 
You said it's hard to believe in the age of aeroplanes and miracles 
                   Am                                                                   G 
But that kind of brightness never appealed to me and I was already headed to the dancefloor 
 

Outro: 
            C 
And if I told you 
           F 
I was never cool 
            Am 
And all I wanted 
              G 
Was just to have you 
            C 
And when I see you 
        F 
I will put my 
       Am 
Arm around you 
              G 
It will be hard to let you go 
            C 
And if I told you 
           F 
I was never cool 
            Am 
And all I wanted 
              G 
Was just to have you 
            C 
And when I see you 
        F 
I will put my 
       Am 
Arm around you 
              G 
It will be hard to let you go 
It will be hard to let you go
