[Verse 1]
G
Stop the clocks, it's amazing
Cadd9
You should see the way the light dances off your head
Dsus4 Em7 Cadd9
A million colours of hazel, golden and red
G
Saturday morning is fading
Cadd9
The sun's reflected by the coffee in your hand
Dsus4 Em7 Cadd9
My eyes are caught in your gaze all over again
[Pre Chorus]
Cadd9
We were love drunk, waiting on a miracle
G Dsus4
Trying to find ourselves in the winter snow
Cadd9 G Dsus4
So alone in love like the world had disappeared
Cadd9
Oh, I won't be silent and I won't let go
G Dsus4
I will hold on tighter 'til the afterglow
Cadd9 G Dsus4
And we'll burn so bright 'til the darkness softly clears
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G Dsus4
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
Cadd9 G Dsus4
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
[Verse 2]
G
The weather outside's changing
Cadd9
The leaves are buried under six inches of white
Dsus4 Em7 Cdd9
The radio is playing, Iron & Wine
G
This is a new dimension
Cadd9
This is a level where we're losing track of time
Dsus4 Em7 Cadd9
I'm holding nothing against it, except you and I
​
[Pre Chorus]
Cadd9
We were love drunk, waiting on a miracle
G Dsus4
Trying to find ourselves in the winter snow
Cadd9 G Dsus4
So alone in love like the world had disappeared
Cadd9
Oh, I won't be silent and I won't let go
G Dsus4
I will hold on tighter 'til the afterglow
Cadd9 G Dsus4
And we'll burn so bright 'til the darkness softly clears
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G Dsus4
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
Cadd9 G Dsus4
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
​
[Outro]
Cadd9
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
