C	      Am 
God damn, this snow 
C	    F  	           G 
Will I ever get where I wanna go 
C	           Am 
And so I skate, across the Thames 
C	    F  	       G 
Hand in hand, with all my friends 

C	      	     		Am 
And all the things, That are we planned 
C	    F  	           	       G 
My suns eyes in the outline of his hand 
C	             		      Am 
And even though I hate the cold 
C	      F  	           	          G 
A constant reminder that I’m growing old 

C		                  F	            C	F 
Another year draws to its cloak, Entire London slow 
C		            F		        C 
When I dream tonight, I’ll dream of you 

F		          G/C 
When the Thames, .. Froze 

C	      Am 
God damn, this government 
C	    F  	           	       G 
Will they ever tell me, where the money went 
C	      Am 
Protesters march out on the street 
C	    F  	           	       G 
As youngsters sleep amongst the feet 

C		                  F	            C	F 
Another year draws to its cloak, Entire London slow 
C		            F		        C 
When I dream tonight, I’ll dream of you 

F		       G/C 
When the Thames, Froze 

C		F 
Tell everyone that there’s hope in your heart 
C			F 
Tell everyone or it will tear you apart 
      G	         C		F 
The end of Christmas day, when there is nothing left to say 
	C				F		C 
The years go by so fast, let’s hope the next beats the last
