Winter: Tori Amos
Intro
[D5] [Am7] [Bb5] [G5]
Verse 1
[D5] Snow can [Am7]wait, I [Bb5]forgot my [G5]mittens
[D5] Wipe my [Am7]nose, get my [Bb5]new boots [G5]on
[D5] I get a little [Am7]warm in my heart when I [Bb5]think of [G5]winter
[D5] I put my [Am7]hand in my [Bb5]father's [G5]glove
[D5] I run [Am7]off where the [Bb5]drifts get [G5]deeper
[D5] Sleeping [Am7]beauty [Bb5]trips me with a [D5]frown
I hear a [Am7]voice: “You must [Bb5]learn to [G5]stand up
[D5] For [Am7]yourself, ‘cause I can’t [Bb5]always be [G5]around”
Chorus
He says:
[F]When you gonna make up your [Dm]mind?[Bb]
[F]When you gonna love you as [Dm]much as I[Bb] do?
[F]When you gonna make up your [Dm]mind?
‘Cause [Bb]things are gonna [F]change so [Bb]fast
All the white [Dm]horses are still in [Gm]bed
I’ll tell you that I’ll [F]always want you [Bb]near
You say that things [Dm][C][Bbmaj7(#11)]change[C]
My [Dm][Bb5]dear[G5]
Verse 2
[D5] Boys get [Am7]discovered [Bb5]as [G5]winter melts
[D5] Flowers [Am7]competing [Bb5]for the [G5]sun
[D5] Years go [Am7]by and I’m [Bb5]here, still [G5]waiting
[D5] Withering [Am7]where some [Bb5]snowman [G5]was
[D5] Mirror, [Am7]mirror, where’s the [Bb5]crystal [G5]palace?
[D5] But I [Am7]only can [Bb5]see [G5]myself
[D5] Skating [Am7]around the [Bb5]truth, who [G5]I am
[D5] But I [Am7]know, Dad, the [Bb5]ice is getting [G5]thin
Chorus
[F]When you gonna make up your [Dm]mind?[Bb]
[F]When you gonna love you as [Dm]much as I[Bb] do?
[F]When you gonna make up your [Dm]mind?
‘Cause [Bb]things are gonna [F]change so [Bb]fast
All the white [Dm]horses are still in [Gm]bed
I’ll tell you that I’ll [F]always want you [Bb]near
You say that things [Dm][C][Bbmaj7(#11)]change[C]
My [D5][F5]dear[G5]
Bridge
[D5] Hair is [F]grey and the [F5]fires are [G5]burning
[D5] So many [F]dreams [F5]on the [G5]shelf
[D5] You say [F]I wanted [F5]you to [G5]be proud
[D5] I [F]always wanted [F5]that [G5]myself

You say that things [Dm][C][Bbmaj7(#11)]change[C]
My [D5][Am7]dear[G5][Bb5]
[D5] [Am7] [Bb5] [C] [D5]
