D 
Oh, I hear the quiet now, 
F                          D 
Of paper airplanes falling down. 
D 
Oh, the branches of every tree 
F                          D 
Bend like a cathedral over me 

F 
Down where the river bends 
           C 
Everyone's waiting 
                   F                                   G 
But that's not the reason I'm making the tracks in the snow. 
         D*         C*        G* 
There's a box in my hands as I go 
D*            C*          G*        D 
Wrapped up in scarlet and gold for you. 

verse 2: 
D 
Oh, there's a choir upon the wind 
F                    D 
Singing all familiar hymns. 
D 
My ears, they're playing tricks on me 
F                      D 
I can almost hear your harmony 

F 
Down where the river bends 
                    C 
That's where you're waiting 
                   F                                     G 
But that's not the reason I'm making these tracks in the snow. 
          D*       C*         G* 
There's a box in my hands as I go 
D*            C*          G*        C 
Wrapped up in scarlet and gold for you.
