Biography:
Singer-songwriter-pianist Taylor Giacoma is quickly becoming known on the indie music scene for a distinctive style that has been described both as folky pop and poppy folk - and is probably neither. Originally learning to sing and play piano by ear and later classically-trained, her music is both easily accessible and remarkably complex. Her lyrics are unusually intellectual and highly narrative, taking the listener on uniquely intimate and yet wonderfully universal journeys of love, loss, and perseverance.

[Verse 1]
Am7
There are leaves in the gutter
Am7/G
And there is cold in the air
Am7/F
And I'm dying with the leaves
Dm7
But you don't seem to care
Am7
There are leaves in the gutter
Am7/G
And leaves in the making
Am7/F
‘Cause I'm thinking of leaving
Dm7
This life I've been faking
Am7
There are leaves in the gutter
Am7/G
And there is snow in the sky
Am7/F
And it only gets colder
Dm7
The truth is, so do I
Dm7/E F C/E
And I’m colder than snow is
C Dm7 Dm7/F Am
And as hopelessly driven
Am/G F C/E
So regardless of reason
C Dm7 Dm7/F Am
You’ll just be forgiven
Am/G F C/E
Yes I’m colder than snow is
C Dm7 Dm7/F Am
That’s what the wind told me
Am/G F C/E
But as darkness sets in
C Dm7 Dm7/F G Em
I want someone to hold me
[Chorus]
Em D/F# G
I’ll hold on
D C
To whatever I can
D Em D B/D#
Anything’s better than nothing
Em D/F# G
I’ll hold on
D C
For whatever it’s worth
D Em
For whatever I’m worth
G A D G A D G
And that’s nothing
[Verse 2]
Am7 G/B Dm C G/B
Win-ter clouds are rolling in
G Am7 G/B Dm C G/B
And my win-try heart is cold again
G Am7 G/B Dm
I wish I knew the peace
C G/B
The leaves know now
G Am7 G/B Dm
I would fall and die with them
C Bb
If I only knew how
C F C/E C
And I wonder what the wind
Dm7 Dm7/F Am7
Does with the warmth
Am7/G F C/E C Dm7
If he’s like you and he just
Dm7/F Am
Pushes it away
Am/G F C/E C Dm7
And has he always been so
Dm7/F Am
Bitter and cold
Am/G F C/E
Or has he hardened over time
C F C/E C
‘Cause no one could ever find
Dm7 Dm7/E Dm7/F G Em
The strength to hold him
[Chorus]
Em D/F# G
I’ll hold on
D C
To whatever I can
D Em D B/D#
Anything’s better than nothing
Em D/F# C
I’ll hold on
D C
For whatever it’s worth
D Em
For whatever I’m worth
Em G Em Em/F# G
And that’s nothing

[Verse 3]
Am7
The cold air is ruthless
Am7/G
And it threatens to break me
Am7/F
And I can't help wishing
Dm7
That tomorrow it might take me
Am7
The cold air is ruthless
Am7/G
And darling, so are you
Am7/F
And relentlessly distant
Dm7
And unfeeling and untrue
Am7
The cold air is ruthless
Am7/G
Yeah, but just like the wind
Am7/F
I’m accustomed to coolness
Dm7
And I rarely give in
Dm7/E F C/E
But we can’t hold off winter
C Dm7 Dm7/F Am
And I can’t be your lover
Am/G F C/E
Though just as the wind blows
C Dm7 Dm7/F Am
I’ll love you forever
Am/G F C/E
No, we can’t hold off winter
C Dm7 Dm7/F G
And I think we both know that

You can’t hold me
