[Verse 1]
Bm
Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
G Em
There was snow, white snow
Bm
Clearly I remember from the windows
G
They were watching while we froze
Em
Down below
[Chorus]
G
When the future's architectured
A Bm
By a carnival of idiots on show
A
You'd better lie low
G F#m D Bm A Bm
If you love me, won’t you let me know?
[Verse 2]
Bm
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
G Em
And a fox became God
Bm
Priests clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
G Em
And the cross was held aloft
[Chorus]
