[Verso 1]
 
          F#11 
This is a first rate town 
F#11 
But all you ever notice 
F#11 
Are the ways it's stretched too far 
           B4 
And it has been knocked down 
B4 
But some of us are still 
B4 
Left here between the scars 
         F#11 
When you look around 
F#11 
All you ever notice is 
F#11 
That you can not see the stars

F#11 
You packed your clothes 
F#11 
And went back to Montreal 
            B4 
Said it was colder there 
B4 
A chill hangs into the air 
B4 
It helps you forget it all 
    G#m 
You left and empty bookshelf 
G#m 
That I did not fill till fall

[Ponte]
 
     D#m/G#  F#11 
Well it will fade 
  B4 
As all things must 
  D#m/G#    F#11 
I loved you but 
    B4 
You didn't love 
Me enough 
D#m/G# F#11 
Winter comes, the 
B4 
Car will rust 
     G#m 
I'll start it up 
     Bmaj7(13) 
Then always run a little rough

It's colder than a winter
