Bm
God bless the daylight,
the sugary smell of springtime
D
Remembering when you were mine
A
In a still suburban town

When every Thursday I'd brave those mountain passes
And you'd skip your early classes
And we'd learn how our bodies worked

God damn the black night,
with all its foul temptations
I've become what I always hated when
I was with you then
We looked like giants in the back of
my grey subcompact
Fumbling to make contact as the others slept inside

Chorus:
Bm                  G
Oh, together there, in a shroud of frost,
              A
the mountain air
began to pass through every pane of weathered glass
Bm                   G                         A F#
and I held you closer, than anyone would ever get

G                            Bm
Do you remember the J.A.M.C.?
And reading aloud from magazines
I don't know about you, but I swear on my name
They could smell it on me
But I've never been too good with secrets
No...

Chorus:
And together there
In a shroud of frost, the mountain air
Began to pass
Through every pane of weathered glass
And I held you closer
