 And if the snow  buries my,
 my neighborhood.
 And if  my parents are  crying
 then I'll dig  a tunnel
 from my  window  to yours,
yeah  a tunnel  from my  window  to yours.
You  climb out  the chimney
 and meet me in  the middle,
 the middle of  the town.
 And since  there's no one else around,
 we let our  hair grow long
 and forget  all we used  to know,
 then our skin  gets thicker
 from living  out in  the snow.
You  change all the lead
sleepin'  in my head,
 as the day grows dim
 I hear you sing a golden  hymn.
 Then we tried to name our babies,
 but we forgot all the names that,
 the names we used to know.
 But sometimes, we remember our bedrooms,
 and our parent's bedrooms,
 and the bedrooms of our friends.
 Then we think of our parents,
 well what ever happened to them?!
 You change all the lead
 sleepin' in my head to gold,
 as the day grows dim,
 I hear you sing a golden hymn,
 the song I've been trying to say.
 Purify the colors, purify my mind.
 Purify the colors, purify my mind,
 and spread the ashes of the colors
 over this heart of mine!
 THEN REPEATED AS ABOVE

And [F]if [Am7]the [F]snow bur[Am]ies [Dm]my,
[A]  my [Bb]neighborhood[F].
And [F]if my parents [Am7]are c[F]rying
then I'll [Am]dig a tun[Dm]nel
from [A]my win[Bb]dow to [F]yours,
[Am]yeah a tu[Dm]nnel from [A]my win[Bb]dow to [F]yours.

[F]You climb [Am7]out the [F]chimney
and meet me [Am]in the [Dm]middle,
the [A]middle [Bb]of the [F]town.
And [F]since there's no one [Am7]else [F]around,
we let [Am]our hair grow [Dm]long

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

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

Purify the colors, purify my mind.
Purify the colors, purify my mind,
and spread the ashes of the colors
over this heart of mine!
