VERSE

C#  (8 beats)              F# (8 beats)
Welcome back, winter once again, 
                Ab (4 beats)
And put on your warm fuzzy sweater 
    Bbm (4 beats)             F# (4 beats)
Cuz you'll feel much better...when,

---Follow this timing pattern for other verses------

    C#                              F#
The snowflakes fall, gently to the ground.
                Ab
The temperature drops and your shivers
Bbm                    F#
Freeze all the rivers around...


PRECHORUS
               F# (2 beats) Ab (2 beats) Bbm (4 beats)   
But I keep you warm 
F#  Ab  Bbm
F#  Ab  Bbm
F#  C#  Ab    <-----Changes last time thru



VERSE

If speed's a pro, Inertia must be a con
Cuz the cold wind blows at precise rates 
When I've got my ice skates on 

If all the roads were paved with ice that wouldn't thaw or crack 
I could skate from Maine to Nebraska
then on to Alaska, and back 

PRECHORUS
                 F# (2 beats) G# (2 beats) A#m (4 beats)  
Cuz you keep me warm 
F#  Ab  Bbm
F#  Ab  Bbm
F#  C#  Ab  

CHORUS

F#   Ab       Bbm
Peer over the edge. Can you see me? 
F#    Ab      Bbm
Rivulets flow from your eyes 
F#    Ab             Bbm
Paint runs from your mouth like a waterfall 
F#       C#          Ab
And your lungs crystalize. 


F#   Ab         Bbm
I'll travel the sub-zero tundra 

F#         Ab           Bbm
I'll brave glaciers and frozen lakes 
   
F#         Ab       Bbm
And that's just the tip of the iceberg 
F#          C#      Ab
I'll do whatever it takes 

To change...

Farewell powdery paradise 
Ab                       C#           F#                   
We'd rather skate on the thinnest ice
Ab                  C#               F# 
Fingers failed us before they froze 
Ab                    C#             F#
Frostbite bit down on all our toes 

F#   Ab           Bbm                       
Snow drifts build up and enfold us
F#    Ab            Bbm 
As we wait out this winter storm 
F#    Ab      Bbm
So we snuggle close in the darkness 
F#            C#    Ab          C#
And keep each other soooooo.... warm
