G#m E
[Verse 1]
G#m E
She wanted to go out late to see the outskirts of the city
G#m E
On the city walls above here late one night.
G#m E
Through the snowstorms in the distance we could see the way the world curved
G#m E
And the bonfire glow of lights from other towns.
[Verse 2]
G#m E G#m E
The snowfall it came sooner than anyone could've predicted and I Pulled your hand inside my jacket sleeve
G#m E
In the other hand I held the tiny pinecone in my pocket,
G#m E
Which was closed up like a shellfish in my hand.
[Instrumental - Chorus]
A C#m G#m E
[Verse 5]
G#m E
I'm not fooling you I don't know anyone in this city,
G#m E
And I don't know you, you don't really know me
G#m E G#m E
But I wanted you to stay here more that anyone could've predicted as I held your hand inside my jacket sleeve.
[Verse 6]
G#m E
The soft shoes of the tourists made the whole place jump with static,
G#m E
from the starlit ballrooms not too far from here.
G#m E
The lights on in tall buildings they were blinking in the distance
G#m E
like a morse code signal from the wind and trees.

[Verse 9]
C#m E
She wanted to go out late to see the outskirts of the city
C#m E
On the city walls above here late one night.
C#m E
Through the snowstorms all around us we could see the way the world curved
C#m E
And the bonfire glow of lights from other towns
[Verse 11]
G#m E
And I wanted you to stay here more than anyone could've predicted
G#m E
And I pulled your hand inside my jacket sleeve.
G#m E
In the other hand I held the tiny pinecone in my pocket,
G#m E
Which was still closed up like a shellfish in my hand.
[Outro]
A C#m G#m E
[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
Let's wake up late at night to see
The outskirts of the city on
The city walls will appear late one night
[Verse 2]
The snowstorms in the distance
We can see the way the world curved and
The bonfire glow of lights from other towns
[Verse 3]
The snow falling [?]
Anyone could have predicted
As you hold your hand inside my jacket sleeve
[Verse 4]
And in the other hand
Held the tiny pinecone in my pocket
Which was closed up like a shellfish in my hand
[Instrumental - Chorus]
[Verse 5]
I'm not fooling you
I don't know anyone in this city
And I don't know you and you don't really know me
[Verse 6]
But I wanted you to stay here
More than anyone could have predicted
As I held your hand inside my jacket sleeve
[Verse 7]
The soft shoes of the tourists
Made the whole place jump with static
From the starlit ballrooms not too far from here
[Verse 8]
The lights on in tall buildings
They go blinking in the distance
Like a Morse code signal from the wind and trees
[Instrumental - Chorus]
[Verse 9]
Let's wake up late at night to see
The outskirts of the city
All of the city walls will appear late one night
[Verse 10]
Through the snowstorms all around us
We can see the way the world curved
In the bonfire glow of lights from other towns
[Verse 11]
And I wanted you to stay
No more than anyone could predicted
As I hold your hand inside my jacket sleeve
[Verse 12]
The other hand
Yeah it held the tiny pinecone in my pocket
Which was closed up like a shellfish in my hand
