INTRO: (Em - Bm - C)3 B
VERSE 1:
Em_______C___________Am
Snow coldly blows upon our summer
B_____________Am_____B______Em
Burying greens in tides that know no aim
_______Am_______________________________B
Thoughts struggling, frozen, moved only by the wind
_C_________________D_________Em
I fear that the spring will never be the same
VERSE 2:
Em________________C___________Am
Although the sun shines down upon my shoulders
B_____________Am___B_____Em
It's not enough to cancel out the chill
_______Am______________________B
As you open the door, to leave me alone
_C____________________D_____________Em
I look to see the snow once again lighting on my windowsill
CHORUS 1:
Am
Gleaming, glittering a collection piece
______________B
Envy it shouts and many ears hear
______Em______D___C
Yes the love for an expensive gem
__B_______________Em
A ruby ring shaped as a tear
Am
"Precious" I hear you whisper
_____________________B
"Precious" I remember you say
___Em________D__C
The tears for the first time I saw
______B_______________Em
When I said I'm not going to stay
GUITAR SOLO: Em - C - Am - B - Am - B - Em / Am - B - C - D - Em
Em_______C___________Am
Of the many places we had been
B__________________Am__B_____Em
I remember most where we frequently spent
___Am
Our love upon the cushions of passionate desire
______________________________B
Where in the chimney we always kept burning a fire
___C__________________D
Our excitement and emotion climbing much higher
Em_________________D___________________C - B - Am - G - B - Em
Hours would pass 'till the sun would remind us to retire
CHORUS:
Am
Gleaming, glittering a collection piece
______________B
Envy it shouts and many ears hear
______Em______D___C
Yes the love for an expensive gem
__B_______________Em
A ruby ring shaped as a tear
Am
"Precious" I hear you whisper
_____________________B
"Precious" I remember you say
___Em________D__C
The tears for the first time I saw
______B_______________Em
When I said I'm not going to stay
Am
Gleaming, glittering a collection piece
______________B
Envy it shouts and many ears hear
______Em______D___C
Yes the love for an expensive gem
__B_______________Em
A ruby ring shaped as a tear
Am
"Precious" the word you used for me
__________________B
A prize in your jewel box I'd be
Em_D__C______B - Em...
Not any more...
