[Verse 1]
Cdim   Bb                   F    EbBaby I love you, but that's not enough
    C5       Bb                F     EbAnd pulling away has been unbearably buff
  Cdim       Bb            F       EbI ran up the mountain, out of your sight
    C5          Bb                 F     EbThe snow on the peak was just unbearably white

    Cdim     Bb              F    EbThe city was freezing, an elegant flow
    C5          Bb               F     EbThe wind at the doorway was unbearably cold
    Cdim          Bb              F       EbYou walked to the bedroom and sat down to write
    C5           Bb                F     EbThe page in your notebook was unbearably white


[Chorus 1]
Cm                             Gm                   F   There's an avalanche coming,  don't cover your eyes
Cm                                       Gm                   F   It's what you thought that you wanted,  it's still a surprise
Cm                       Gm                   F   It's hard on the body,  it's hard on the mind
D                          Gm   To learn what kept us together, darling
Cm                   F   Is what kept us alive

(Repeat riff 1)


[Verse 2]
C5        Bb               F    EbSooner or later, the story gets told
   C5        Bb                 F     EbTo tell it myself would be unbearably bold
C5             Bb                F      EbPresented with darkness, we turn to the light
C5            Bb                     F     EbCould've been smart, we're just unbearably bright

(Repeat riff 2)
