A		   D6* Riff_3
  what cars there are
A	      D6*   Riff_3
  go by like snails
A		   D6*
  and ice crystals shine
A		   D6*
  on the staircase's handrails

A	       D6* Riff_3
  the quiet air
A		     D6*   Riff_3
  is worth some discussion
A		   D6*
  as the windows crack
A		    D6*
  and the cold is crushing.

A			Bm7*		   D*

       A		 Bm7*	    D*

		    A
and I'd just as soon
	     Bm7*		D*
make you disappear as look at you
	A     Bm7*	 D*
but I draw you close to me.

	    A
how do you feel about that?
	    E
how do you feel about that?
