Dm C F Gm A  Dm C F A 
Dm A  Dm F   Dm A Gm  A Gm A 

Dm     C             F       
In the winter it was so, so cold 
     Gm                 A 
The fish all died, the harbour froze 
      Dm          C             F               A 
There was nothing left for the crows to do but wait 
     Gm  Bb    A 
And they said.... 


           Dm                          
They said being here is better than wishing we'd stayed 
      A  
Yes, being here is seeming to be the way 
    Dm             F          Bb           A 
Oh being here is better than wishing we had stayed... 

Dm A  Dm F   Dm Bbm  Gm A  Gm A   


      Dm          C          F            
They stayed under water for so,so long 
      Gm                        A   
They wait for the spring when the ice will thaw 
     Dm     C              F  
And frozen parts will be filled with song 
        Gm            F           A 
And the sun filtered down through all them waves 


     Gm      A 
And they said... 
           Dm  
They said being here is better than wishing we'd stayed 
      A 
Yes, being here is seeming to be the way 
  Dm               F         Bb 
Being here is like breathing on the hottest day 
    Gm         A 
I think I would rather suffocate 

Gm A  Gm A 

      Dm          C          F 
Last summer they said it was so, so hot 
     Gm          F         A 
Two lovers did drown, their dreams were sunk 
            Dm           C            F 
While their bodies were lost, their souls stayed around 
         Gm                 A 
They stayed underwater; most go underground. 

     Gm       A 
And they said... 


          Dm                                     
They said being here is better than wishing we'd stayed 
      A                
Yes, being here is seeming to be the way (x3) 
     Dm            F            Bb                         A 
Oh, being here is better than wishing, wishing, wishing we had stayed 

Dm A  Dm F  Dm Bbm  Gm A Gm A       Dm
