Intro: Em   A    F#    A 

Em         A                F#       
There were trails of fallen trees 
         A 
Deciduous and weeding marsh 
Em          A                           F# 
The lowland birds and crickets roared 
        D  A       Em 
The final sound of fall 
Em        A             F# 
Along the banks of the river 
    A                            
We approached the footbridge 
Em     A      F# 
Entering the wilderness 
F#        D       A 
Following my footstep 


C#  E       B   A             C#   
The silence between us is the time 
E     B    A           C#    E 
When I can't hear the thoughts 
E          B       A      
Thoughts on your mind,  
G# A 
yeah  

E          A                 F# 
Beyond the panic and worried that 
         A                   Em 
Seems to consume most every thought 
Em           A               F# 
There lies a calm and steady hand 
     D       A         Em 
That someday you might see 
Em          A             F# 
Perhaps it isn't what you wanted 
   A                       Em 
Or even what you're looking for 
Em           A          
But once you see the symmetry 
F#       D       A     
Once you see the you and me 


C#     E        B       A      
Winter lovers, we're so nervous 
    C#    E      B     A  
The words will disappear 
C#     E           B       A    
What thoughts are on your mind,  
G#  A 
yeah 

F#                            A         E 
You park the car outside the Holiday Inn 
F#                          A           E 
We cross the highway single-file 
F#                        A             E 
And you were walking in a hurry 
F#                            A         E 
And there was me without water with a smile 
Yeah! 

solo 


C#     E        B       A      
Winter lovers, we're so nervous 
    C#    E      B     A  
The words will disappear 
C#     E           B       A    
What thoughts are on your mind,  
G#  A 
yeah 

G#            A 
On your mind, yeah 
G#            A 
On your mind, yeah 
G#            A 
On your mind, yeah
