_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ It _ seems like every [Am] November _ [C] when _ _ _ [D] _ _
the weather gets [G] bad I _ _ _ _ _ start to [Am] _
remember _ [C] all _ [D] _ _
the good
[G] love we _ _ _ [G#] _
_ _ _ had.
Long nights [C] get _ _ longer, _ _ [C] _
_ spring would come [G] by, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ the forecast is [Am] low and _ [D] _ _
_ the chill _ [G] factor's high.
_ _ _ [G] _ You know the chill [C] factor's high _ _ _ on a clear windy _ day.
_ _ _ _ But there's no wind this [Am] morning, _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ and no wind on [G] the way. _
_ _ _ _ _ But there's a snow storm [C] inside me. _ _
_ Where there's high rain, [G] _ _

Long nights [C] get _ longer, [C] _

_ We're caught _ in a trap _ like prisoners [A] in a [E]
cage.
_ _ [A] Growing _ [E] old _ _ _ [B] _ age, _ _ _ _ [E] the running we had is down [A] to [E] a crawl.
_ [A] We hardly _ [E] ever talk and [B] we never touch [E] at all.
_ _ _ You go out with someone else, well I'm out with someone too.
_ [A] Yet we come back [E] to prison when [B] we're through.
_ _ _ _ Why [E]
don't we just stay out while we still can climb the wall.
_ [A] We hardly [E] ever talk [B] and we never _ [E] touch at all. _
_ _ [F#] Are we afraid that we will wind up [B] alone? _ _ _
_ _ [F#] Is this the tide that keeps us [B] hanging on? _ _
