D        A             G      A       D
I always thought that winter was for lovers
Bm            Gbm    G     A        D
Cuz when else is a body's warmth so warm
Bm        Gbm       G           A        D         G
But underneath my clothes your hands are fre-e-e-eezing
    A              D
But I don't say a word
 
 
     D     A         G        A        D
But maybe it's the spring that is for lovers
Bm   Gbm               G          A       D
Cuz that is when the leaves come out and bloom
Bm           Gbm      G      A          D   G
And all the light of every lengthening da-ay
      A             D
That still ends too soon
 
 
     D     A         G     A       D
But now I know that summer is for lovers
    Bm    Gbm          G        A      D
Cuz when else will we find the time to leave
Bm          Gbm      G          A        D        G
We'll lay beneath a field and watch our lo-o-ove growin
      A              D
And swayin in the trees
 
 
     D     A       G         A       D
But maybe its the fall that is for lovers
Bm           Gbm      G           A      D
Cuz that is when the leaves get tired of bein'
Bm         Gbm      G        A      D        G
Green and all the colours change to o-o-others
         A          D
That are very rarely seen
G             A           D
    That are very rarely seen

Seasons

A
You're taken by the woods even though you're aware of the
F
Slippery cliffs and the big black bears and the
C
Salal snares taller than yourself
E
Ferns growing as thick as the trees
F
You're looking for a flag at the top of the hill 
E
It's a race against the light
Bb/Bb                                       F
And one false step could mean staying the night
E
That's why you should never travel alone
F                            G              C
You should never you should never travel alone
E                  F                     G                  C
And you know that one false step and you might not make it home.
A
And so you watch for the loose rocks under your feet
F
Stepping over loose stones crossing over creeks
C
Climbing up cliffs, over dead tress
E                                      F
You watch your step you get your footing riiiiggghhhttt yeah
Bb                                        F
And a broken compass could mean staying the night yeah
E
And that's why you should always know where you're going
F                                          G                     C
And even if you've got a map you should always know where you're going
E                             F                    G                         C
And you know that because even if you've got a map you might not make it home

(riff)
A
And you take your time just to breathe the air
F
And appreciate having never met a bear
C
And you capture the flag at the top of the hill
E
with daylight to spare
F
Orienteering comes naturally
E
You read the map right
Bb                                    F
One wrong turn could mean staying the night yeah
E
and though you carry your fall
           F                 G              C
You should never, You should never travel alone
E
And you know that

        F                  G                   C  
Because one false step and you might not make it home
E
And you know that
     F                      
'cause even if you got a map
G                       C
you know where you're going
E
You're still a long way from your home

 C                       F                 G            C
And Even if you've got a map you should never travel alone
       E                   F                   
And you know that but you're not dead yet and
    G                     C
you might just make it home
E                     F
And you know that but you're not dead yet 
    G                  C
and you might just make it home

 riff till the end

Bc Orienteering

C
Be sure to be quiet

In the middle of the night,
          F
When the dogs are asleep and

The wind is high.
           C
Grab out things and wait

by the window,
                       E
I'll meet you by the window.


           F
And we'll make no tracks
        G
In the snow.
        C          E
We'll follow the lakes to where the
 Am                   F
Cold north wind will
              G
Cover for us both
   C
So we can hide.

F            G
And if we survive
     C              E
The cold, and the night
        Am             F
In the dead of winter,
                     G
We'll watch the sun rise on the ice
     C
Together

F                 G
And if we are to die tonight,
         C         E
In your arms I'll lay,
        Am               F
And it never felt better;
                      G
And at least we will leave here
   C 
Together.


La da da da... [F G C E Am F G C] x2


F                    G
In the still of the night
    C                E
My bare hands, your pale skin
   Am                        F
Reflected in the moonlight.
                    G
And we pray and we pray
        C
To the wind.
     F            G
And your hand in my hand's
    C           E
As soft as the sunlight 
         Am            F
When the day begins,
                     G
And as cold as the night
       C 
Blows in.



F                 G
And if we are to die tonight,
   C            E
I pray with my heart
               Am               
That you will love me forever
F                     G
And at least we will leave here
   C 
Together.

Where we grows, the roots are never ending light
High up on the mountain (repeat and fade out).

    Dm         F
And every day, sun or rain,
Bb                      C
Old friends fall to the earth and decay
         Dm
With the city by the sea
      F
Sweet brine in the breeze
         Bb
With the mountains watching over
       C
Her Vancouver


 (Break)          F  
Black day in December
Bb                     F  
   A black day in December
C  C#                 F  
   Black day in December
Bb                     F  
   A black day in December
 C    C# Dm
   Oh, oh...

Howe Sounds

Loveless - Said The Whale

Intro: Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 Am

Verse 1:
C
We 
Fmaj7      Am
tossed the notion around
Fmaj7         C
Hints in the subtle sounds
Fmaj7    Am          Fmaj7
Never spoken aloud

C
I 
Fmaj7      Am
loved the idea of it
Fmaj7   C
Without significance
Fmaj7     Am
It can be delicate
Dm
And I always mean what I say

Chorus:
C
How could I love you less,
Fmaj7 
Now that I know you more?
Am                          E
It's just a question that I still don't have the answer for
Fmaj7
How could I love you less,
G                     C
Now that I know you more?
C
If there was choice
Fmaj7
Now given the choice between theirs and mine
Am                      E
I'd take the comfort of comfort every single time
Fmaj7
How could I love you less,
G                    C
Now that I know you more?

Verse 2:
C
So
Fmaj7        Am 
passing the time away
         Fmaj7      C
Without remembering anything
             Fmaj7        Am          Fmaj7
And learning all of your intricacies

C
You,
Fmaj7              Am 
you're back to the city life
Fmaj7        C
The softer spoken kind
              Fmaj         Am
You're seeing things in a different light
Dm
And I always mean what I say

(Chorus)

Fmaj7         C                    Fmaj7
Back in our younger days (We were younger then)
          G                           Am
We were locked away (We were just starting out)
                                          Am
We were just starting out (We were just starting out)
Fmaj7                                C                           
You used to hold me close (I still hold you close)
              Fmaj7                    G
You're still dear to me (You're still dear to me)
Am                                G
Now we're comfortable (Never too comfortable)

Chorus

Fmaj7 
How could I love you less,
G                     C
Now that I know you more? (2x)

Loveless

G
I laid a kiss upon your forehead that night.
G
We laid awake and you wondered why I’d said,
C
“I’d never felt a kiss quite like this before.”
             G
You said, “A kiss is a kiss,”
           
But it was never like this before.

G
Oh K, Oh K, Okay
G
Oh K, Oh K, Okay

G
I laid my head upon your chest in the dark.
G
You said to me that if it’s only a spark
         C
That can grow to be the nucleus of flame,
             G
Well, then a flicker in the dark

Will start a good fire all the same.

G
Oh K, Oh K, Okay
G
Oh K, Oh K, Okay

Em              Am
I’d never met a girl who
G                  Em    
Thinks the way that I do
Am               D
About the better things,
Am                         D
Like the reflection of the moon
Am                  D
Or the mortality of fire
Am                    D          G
And the distance of a star and us.

G
Oh K, Oh K, Okay

G
I lay my thoughts upon you in the dark.
G
I lay beside you and listen to your heart beat,
C
Rippling the water on the lake and the stars
        G
And the night sky and bright sparks.

G
Oh K, Oh K, Okay
G
Oh K, Oh K, Okay

Em              Am
I’d never met a girl who
G                  Em    
Thinks the way that I do
Am               D
About the better things,
Am                         D
And the reflection of the moon
Am                  D
Or the anatomy of fire
Am                    D         Em
Or the distance of a star and us.

Em    G       Am                   Em
La da dum dum dum, We’ll never be alone
Am               D
As long as we survive,
Am               D
Separated by the miles,
Am             D
Far across the land...
Am               D              G
And on a distant shore, there’s us.

G
Oh K, Oh K, Okay

Oh K, Oh K, Okay

C           Em               F
  Cleared a path through the unusual snowfall
C                Em              F
  Our hands were cold, our hearts warm in the wet snow
C          Em           F
  Asked me if I still believe in Santa Claus, well,
C       Em         F
  Santa Claus is a very fine fellow

F                     E
  When we reached that  frozen lake,
C                                 F
  I thought it looked like it was strong enough to stand on
F                         E
  Held your hand as we softly took the first step
Am                         F
  Ignoring cracks, bubbles, we're strong swimmers
F
  We'd be walking on water in the summer

C          Em             F
  Held our ground through low clouds and dark skies
C              Em           F
  Clothes were damp and our skins cold to the touch, touch
C          Em           F
  Asked ourselves if we still believe in old tales
C         Em            F
  Stories come and they go but they come from somewhere

F                        E
  When we jumped through that frozen lake
C                         F
  I thought the fire was a lovely thing to lean on
F                             E
  Kissed your cheek and said "Darling, we're strong swimmers but
Am                       F
  if I go down you better call Holly to save me"
F
  We'd be buried in the water in the summer
F
  We'd be leaning on lake tides and lilies


C E Am F
         We've got the biggest hearts
C E            Am 
    At a big love
             F              
And we're all strong swimmers
C E                           Am
   We've got the biggest hearts
F
  At a big love
C E                          Am 
   We've got the biggest hearts

             F
  And we're all
F
  And we're all
F
  And we're all

  Strong swimmers

When it's so dark I can't see the light
           E
I close my eyes and I think of you

Teddy bear, honey bee
                             A
Don't forget that you love me
                               E
More than the stars over your head

It's just that your love shines like the moon
                                    A
Full and bright and blinding through
                        E
Into my heart, into my head

When it's so dark I can't see the light

I close my eyes and I think of you

My little love, my only girl

I wouldn't leave you for all the world

I'll just sit here and wait for your moon to rise

When it's so dark I can't see the light

I close my eyes and I think of you

When it's so dark I can't see the light

Well I think of you

When it's so dark I can see the light
                 E
Shining through you

Ooooo

The Light Is You

I know you'll be all right

But I can't help thinking what you're thinking now.

Are we still two of a kind?
       F                                       C
And is everything we ever said to each other a lie?

The Real Of It

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,

Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Overreacting

time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.
