Verse:
Am
God bless the daylight, the sugary smell of springtime
C G
Remembering when you were mine, In a still suburban town
Am
When every thursday I'd brave those mountain passes
C G
And you'd skip your early classes, And we'd learn how our bodies worked.
*Repeat intro*
Am
God damn the black night with all it's foul temptation
C G
I become what I always hated, When I was with you then
Am
We looked like giants in the back of my grey subcompact
C G
Fumbling to make contact, As the others slept inside
Chorus:
Am F
And together there, In a shroud of frost, the mountain air
G
Began to pass through every pane of weathered glass
Am F G E
And I held you closer than anyone would ever get
*Repeat Intro*
G
Do you remember the JAMC? And reading aloud from magazines
G
I don't know about you but I swear on my name they could smell it on me
F
I've never been too good with secrets.
G F
No...
Am F
And together there, In a shroud of frost, the mountain air
G
Began to pass through every pane of weathered glass
F
And I held you closer...

There are a couple ways to play this one. This one seems to be the easiest and
most accurate for me.
ENJOY!
