[Verse 1]
Dm                            Bb
Lookin back upon the path and I, 
                   F
I can't believe my eyes
             F
The boy that I was 
                         Dm
And the man that I've become
                          Bb
Breakin through this memory 
                     F
I still recall the scene 
                 F
From across the room 
                                Dm
Like something right out of a dream

                              Bb
And now I sit here trying to find
                       F  
The words to show you my love
                F
But they don't come 
                                Dm
They just stay locked up in my head
                         Bb
So I will vow until the day,
                F 
This body fades away
             F
To hold you high and I'll sing..

[Chorus]
Bb 
When the winter comes
                  Dm 
I'll scream your name
            C                Bb  
Don't be afraid of what's beneath

When the reaper comes
               Dm 
I'll hold you tight and I'll scream
            C                 Bb
"Don't you take her away from me, don't you take her away"

[Verse 2]
Dm                      Bb
I lived my life of vagabond
                    F
The path that I was on, 
                                           Dm
Better to leave than leaving broken in the end
                           Bb                    F
But like a moth into the flame, your fire burned away 
                                            Dm
All of the fear that I held deep inside my heart

                           Bb  
And though I like it everyway,
                       F 
You still decided to stay
                                         Dm
Dare to look inside and see me for who I am
                         Bb                    F
So I will vow until the day, this body fades away
             F
To hold you high and I'll sing..

[Chorus] 
Bb 
When the winter comes
                  Dm 
I'll scream your name
            C               Bb  
Don't be afraid of what's beneath

When the reaper comes
               Dm 
I'll hold you tight and I'll scream
            C                 Bb
"Don't you take her away from me, don't you take her away"

[Bridge]
Dm                C             Bb
And I'll see the face that I desire,
                    Dm
Don't let it burn away
                     C          Bb
A small spark that grew into a fire, 
                    Dm
Don't let it burn away

[Solo]
Dm      C        Bb

[Chorus]
Bb 
When the winter comes
                  Dm 
I'll scream your name
            C               Bb  
Don't be afraid of what's beneath

When the reaper comes
               Dm 
I'll hold you tight and I'll scream
            C                 Bb
"Don't you take her away from me, don't you take her away"

[Ending]
Dm                C             Bb
And I'll see the face that I desire,
                    Dm
Don't let it burn away
                     C          Bb
A small spark that grew into a fire, 
                   Dm     C       Bb
Don't let it burn awaaaaaay ... away
