INTRO: C Cmaj7* C Cmaj7**

C Em7 C Em Dm
And if the snow buries my,
E F C
my neighborhood.
C Em7 C
And if my parents are crying
Em Am
then I'll dig a tunnel
E F C
from my window to yours,
Em Am E F C
yeah a tunnel from my window to yours.

C Em7 C
You climb out the chimney
Em Am
and meet me in the middle,
A Bb F
the middle of the town.
F Am7 F
And since there's no one else around,
Em Am
we let our hair grow long
E F C
and forget all we used to know,
Em Am
then our skin gets thicker
E F C
from living out in the snow.

C Em
You change all the lead
C Em
sleepin' in my head,
Am Em
as the day grows dim
Am Em G G7
I hear you sing a golden hymn.

C Cmaj7* C Cmaj7**

C Em7 C
Then we tried to name our babies,
Em Am
but we forgot all the names that,
E F C
the names we used to know.
C Em7 C
But sometimes, we remember our bedrooms,
Em Am
and our parent's bedrooms,
E F C
and the bedrooms of our friends.
C Em Am
Then we think of our parents,
E F C
well what ever happened to them?!

C Em
You change all the lead
C Em
sleepin' in my head, to gold
Am Em
as the day grows dim
Am Em G
I hear you sing a golden hymn.
G G7
the song I've been trying to say.

Purify the colors, purify my mind. ]

The (Am Cm7* Am A5) bit is once again imitating the riff... if u notice... although it
confusing... all your doing is just hammering on then pulling off fret4 on the D string,
just pulling of fret 1 on the b string. this applies for both the (Am Cm7* Am A5) bit
the (C Cmaj7* C Cmaj7**) bit. if you find this too difficult... you can just play the c
or get a second guitar to play the following riff... or if u just wanna muck around with
riff...

(also with capo on 5)

e---------------|
B---------1-0---|
G-----0-4-------|
D---2-----------|
A-3-------------|
E---------------|

it can also be played like this wihtut a capo... but i find that it sounds better with a capo

e---------------|
B---------------|
G---------------|
D---------3-2---|
A-----0-3-------|
E-0-1-----------|

this is a great song... and i hope i've done it justice.... go 2 youtube and watch them
it live! amazing!
