Intro: G D/F# (2x)
G
I get dressed up in my winter clothes
D/F#
And step outside to look at the roses
Em7 Cadd9
But they're all covered in the morning snow
G
Just open your heart
D/F# Em7
And the world will carry you home tonight
Cadd9
It will
G D/F# Em7 Cadd9 (2x)
I get dressed up in my summer clothes
And step outside to look at the roses
But they're all covered in their sharper thorns
Just open your eyes
And the world will follow you home tonight
It will
G D/F# Cadd9
Let's put on our rain coats
G
And drench ourselves in England's weather
Em7
Just to know we're free
D/F# Cadd9 G
We'll bury our heads down beneath the old oak tree
Just you and me
G D/F#
But please
Cadd9 G
Oh, don't take this broken heart of mine
Em7
It's the only beat that I have left
D/F#
And it's pulsing through this empty chest
Cadd9 G
Even I don't know where I should begin
G D/F# Em7 Cadd9 (2x)
I get dressed up in my autumn clothes
And step out side to pick up the leaves in
I cannot believe the whole year has gone
I open my arms to embrace you
It's time to go right back to the start
Let's put on our rain coats
And drench ourselves in England's weather
Just to know we're free
We'll bury our heads down beneath the old oak tree
Just you and me
But please
Oh, don't take this broken heart of mine
It's the only beat that I have left
And it's pulsing through this empty chest
Even I don't know where I should begin
