verse 1:
A
I am weak and I am selfish
D E A
You are but a guest in my heart
D E
Welcome for now
A E D
But soon must depart
D
You’re a Catherine Wheel
E A
Spinning its last
A
You’d speed past the hedgerows
D E A
I’d ask if it’s ok if I smoke
D E
You’d say it doesn’t bother you
A E D
And you’d smile as I spoke
D
You’re a little child
E A
Losing his hope
chorus:
D E A
And in the trappings of the silent snow
D
That fell over night
E F#m
And won’t let me go
D
Oh I know that the shame is mine
Bm E A
And the blame is my own to bear
verse 2:
A
Well I don’t think and I don’t feel
D E A
A cold chill doesn’t grip me yet
D E
My chest is half empty
A E D
My mind a blank cassette
D E A
Tomorrow seems a dark distant threat
A
And if I knew what had pushed you
D E A
So far from my heart or my mind
D E
Well would it give you comfort
A E D
Or strength of some kind
D
And would it give you peace
E A
As I leave you behind
chorus:
D E A
And in the trappings of the silent snow
D
That fell over night
E F#m
And won’t let me go
D
Oh I know that the shame is mine
Bm E A
And the blame is my own to bear
bridge:
A
Oh I will never belong
D A
Belong to anyone
A
Oh I will never belong
D A
Belong to anyone
D A
Belong to anyone
D A
Belong to anyone
chorus:
D E A
And in the trappings of the silent snow
D
That fell over night
E F#m
And won’t let me go
D
Oh I know that the shame is mine
Bm E A
And the blame is my own to bear
