Winter Solace

[Intro]
E G
E G
 
[Verse]
    E                            C
The sun resigns its persistent resistance to the rain
        E                     C
As the clocks and the weather beckon wetter days
    D
The coats are donned
Am
Scarves are put on
    D
The humidity and the damp
          C
Of Autumn grasps to the leaves of oak trees
             C
Before being blast
       N.C
To the past
 
 
[Chorus]
E                        G
I never liked the summer anyway
 
 
[Verse]
E                         C
I stroll down through the woods out from the town
E                                        C
Watching the dead autumn leaves slowly decay on the ground
D
Icy droplets pooling on my head
           Am
And as the sun sets
    Am
The sky turns a deathly red
D
If they could, everyone would beg the warmth to stay
        C
But not me
C
I never liked the summer anyway
 
 
[Chorus]
E                G
I much prefer my own winter solace
 
 
[Verse]
E                           C
Like poetry, icy clouds are cast in swirling ink across the sky
E
Playing with their material
            C
Epistolary lipograms that fly
            D
Through the air
               D
Generating the frost of a new dawn
     Am
With hopes of unanimous white paint on the lawn
     D
The trees shiver, children wrapped in puffer jackets
C
Meanwhile at night, beds are gifted extra blankets
 
 
[Chorus]
E                           G
I never liked the summer anyway
E                           G
I never liked the summer anyway
E                               G
I'll take the cold over the hot anyday
E                G   C      E     E   G  C  E
I much prefer my own winter solace
E                           G  C  E
I never liked the summer anyway

[Outro]
E                           G
I never liked the summer anyway
E                 G
I much prefer my own winter solace
E                           G
I never liked the summer anyway
