First Verse
G5
Stop the clocks, it’s amazing
Csus2
You should see the way the light dances off your head
Dsus4 Em7 Csus2
A million colours of hazel, golden and red
G5
Saturday morning is fading
Csus2
The sun’s reflected by the coffee in your hand
Dsus4 Em7 Csus2
My eyes are caught in your gaze all over again
PRE CHORUS
Csus2
We were love drunk, waiting on a miracle
G5 Dsus4
Tryna to find ourselves in the winter snow
Csus2 G5 Dsus4
So alone in love like the world had disappeared
Csus2
Oh, I won’t be silent and I won’t let go
G5 Dsus4
I will hold on tighter ’til the afterglow
Csus2 G5 Dsus4
And we’ll burn so bright ’til the darkness softly clears
CHORUS
Csus2 G5 Dsus4
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
Csus2 G5
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
VERSE 2
G5
The weather outside’s changing
Csus2
The leaves are buried under six inches of white
Dsus4 Em7 Csus2
The radio is playing, Iron & Wine
G5
This is a new dimension
Csus2
This is a level where we’re losing track of time
Dsus4 Em7 Csus2
I’m holding nothing against it, except you and I
PRE CHORUS
Csus2
We were love drunk, waiting on a miracle
G5 Dsus4
Trying to find ourselves in the winter snow
Csus2 G5 Dsus4
So alone in love like the world had disappeared
Csus2
Oh, I won’t be silent and I won’t let go
G5 Dsus4
I will hold on tighter ’til the afterglow
Csus2 G5 Dsus4
And we’ll burn so bright ’til the darkness softly clears
CHORUS
Csus2 G5 Dsus4
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
Csus2 G5 Dsus4
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
Csus2 Let ring…
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
