Am
A drink with desire
            C
But no direction

Is only a stomachache
        G
And the pain keeps me up late
E
Waiting, contemplating
Am                  C
How am I supposed to sleep
                               G
When my thoughts are on the run
                  E
I chase them down, pull out a loaded gun


[Pre-Chorus]
Am
   And I lay
C
   Contemplate
G            E
   What is my fate?


[Chorus]
     Am
It’s cold
                               C
The winter when you’re getting old
                               G
And all of the mistakes you’ve owned
         D              E
Will you turn it around turn it around
          Am
When it’s cold
                               C
The winter when you’re getting old
                       G
So sit yourself up and go
         D
Will you turn it around?


[Verse 2]
Am
When will it kick in?
                     C
The swallowed inspiration

Pacing, waiting
                   G
The clock keeps saying
               E
Time is running out


[Pre-Chorus]
Am
   And I lay
C
   Contemplate
G            E
   What is my fate?


[Chorus]
     Am
It’s cold
                               C
The winter when you’re getting old
                               G
And all of the mistakes you’ve owned
         D              E
Will you turn it around turn it around
          Am
When it’s cold
                               C
The winter when you’re getting old
                       G
So sit yourself up and go
         D
Will you turn it around?


[Bridge]
Am                       C
Oh, there’s static in my brain (Static, static, static, static)
