The snow on the peak was just unbearably white

CdimBbFEb
The city was freezing, an elegant flow
Cm7Gm7FEb
The wind at the doorway was unbearably cold

You walked to the bedroom and sat down to write
Cm7Gm7FEb
The page in your notebook was unbearably white
[Chorus 1]
Cm7Gm7F7
There's an avalanche coming, don't cover your eyes
Cm7Gm7F7
It's what you thought that you wanted, it's still a surprise
Cm7Gm7F7
It's hard on the body, it's hard on the mind
D7Gm7
To learn what kept us together, darling
Cm7F7
Is what kept us alive
(Repeat riff 1)
[Verse 3]
CdimBbFEb
Sooner or later, the story gets told
Cm7Gm7FEb
To tell it myself would be unbearably bold
CdimBbFEb
Presented with darkness, we turn to the light
Cm7Gm7FEb
Could've been smart, we're just unbearably bright
(Repeat riff 2)
[Chorus 2]
Cm7Gm7F7
There's an avalanche coming, don't cover your eyes
Cm7Gm7F7
It's what you thought that you wanted, it's still a surprise
Cm7Gm7F7
It's hard on the body, it's hard on the mind
D7Gm7
To learn what kept us together, darling
Cm7F7
Is what kept us alive
