Intro

Verse 1

And I cry-y and no one can

hear. Inha........le, the blinded eyes that

see the cha.......os bring the pitiful to

me. Even though I'm wide awake, I... ... ...

will in blackest night. And, I wait for you. It’s

cold in here, there's no one left and I wait for you. And

nothing stops it happening and I... ... ... knew. I’d

cherish all my misery a...lone. (*Riff 1)

Chorus

|-(G Riff)--|--------------(Riff 1)------------|

(And I) wait... staring at the northern star

(I'm a-)-fraid... it won't lead me a.....nywhere

(He's so) cold... he will ruin the world tonight

(All the) angels... kneel into the northern lights,

kneel into the frozen lights.

Then: | | |(Riff 2)

Verse 2

And they paid, I cry and cry for

you. Ghosts that haunt you with their sorrow I cried 'cause you were

doomed. Praying to the wound that swallows all that's cold and

cruel. Can you see the tree.....s, cha........rity

and gratitude? They

run to the pines. It’s

black in here, blot out the sun and

run to the pines. Our

misery runs wild and free. And,

I... ... ... knew the

fire and the ashes of his graves.

Chorus

(graves) And I..

wait......... staring at the northern star. I’m

afraid........ it won't lead you very far. He’s so

cold......... he will win the world tonight. All the

angels....... kneelin to the frozen lights.

|(Riff 1)

Feel their hearts, they're cold and white.

Verse 3

(picks up towards ends of previous verses – after Em-Am passes)

I... wa.....nt you! And,

blessed are the broken and,

I be........g you, no

loneliness, no misery is

worr........th you. Oh..

tear his heart out, cold as ice it’s mine!

Chorus

(mine!) And I..

wait......... praying to the northern star. I’m

afraid........ it won't lead you any-where. He’s so

cold......... raining on the world tonight. All the

angels....... kneelin to the northern lights. And I..

pray......... begging to the northern star. I’m

afraid........ it won't lead you very far. He’s so..

cold......... he will rule the world tonight. All the..

angels....... kneelin to the northern lights,

kneelin to the frozen lights.

Then..

Feel their hearts, they're cold as ice.
