Key: G
Introduction:
Bm A G7M
I don't want to sing about the peaches in the Vatican
D
And I don't want to hear about the bird on the hill
G7M
And why you want to fight when you know that I'll be gone again?
D A
I don't want to write God's name into my will
G7M
Aren't you scared of making what'll become empty promises
Bm A G7M
And aren't you busy worrying that the rainbows might depart?
Bm A G7M
And are you still now wishing that your eyes could see all rose again?
D A
Well I won't be throwing out all these memories and thoughts
A7M F#m
Winter dreams and roses
A A7M F#m
Peeling tangerines
A A7M F#m
Live so long it's like nothing's blooming it's all grey
A A7M F#m
Throw the trash away
Bm A G7M
I remember evenings when the days were busy spinning 'round
D
When we'd crack mothers backs just by walking the street
G7M
Now I'm sore and aching for the clock to fall past twelve again
D A
In sleep I'm free from seeing who I've turned out to be
G7M
I'm young but I can't shake this feeling all my days are dwindling
Bm A G7M
That deep beneath facades and smiles is nothing much to hold
Bm A G7M
And when we used to run my eyes would fill with all that's glittering
D A
But deep beneath this shimmer I feel nothing may be gold
A7M F#m
Winter dreams and roses
A A7M F#m
Peeling tangerines
A A7M F#m
Live so long it's like nothing's blooming it's estranged
A A7M F#m
Throw the trash away
