G   Cm7 

G                 Cm7 
I don't mind the weather 
         G                      Cm7 
I've got scarves and caps and sweaters 
          G                 Cm7                G      Cm7 
I've got long johns under slacks for blustery days. 
G                   Cm7 
I think that it's brainless  
      G                Cm7 
To assume that making changes  
         G                 Cm7            G          Cm7 
To your window's view will give a new perspective.

And the hardest part is yet to come 

G   Cm7 

G                  Cm7 
I don't mind restrictions  
               G                Cm7 
Or if you're blacking out the friction 
          G                Cm7       G        Cm7 
It's just an escape that's overrated anyways 

    Am7             Dm      G    Cm7 
The hardest part is yet to come 
         Am7             Dm       G     Cm7 
When you will cross the country alone. 

G   Cm7 till end.
