Snowman doesn’t really melt he just slowly falls apart
    F                   G       C
Cos no one built a snow girl to heal his broken heart
   G                                  F
We walk through life like snowmen and gradually we melt
    C N.C.
Cos no one seems to understand the feelings that we felt
             C                  G
Our love somehow in this winter rain
                  F     G                  C
Left just hat and scarf beneath the window pane
Am                   Ab+      Am7
Spring pops his head out from underneath the sheets
        Am               Ab+      C
And the cold and dark of winter begins its long retreat
Am                         Ab+    Am7         D7
Blossom brightly doffs his hat at everyone he greets
        F  N.C.                             C
And the love you showed for me has come and gone
C                                      G
We’re Guy Fawkes dummy roaming town we beg for 50p
F                       G              C
Hold our freezing hands out thinking I wish this wasn’t me
G                             F
Carrot for a nose ain’t bad a piece of coal for eyes
  C  N.C.
A bunch of twigs for lovin’ arms where nothing can disguise
              C                G
This night is done I’m burning bright
                       F     G        C
I’m off with snowman’s heart into the night
Am               Ab+                Am7
Winter drops its silent leaves like bombs upon our sun
       Am               Ab+                     C
Like a swarm of bees we embrace the breeze with nowhere left to run
        Am            Ab+                     Am7              D7
And the fly begins to yearn the warmth of the web the spider’s spun
        F                                   C
And the love you showed for me has come and gone
C                         G
In hat and scruffy jacket strangers pass me by
F                  G             C
Confident November here and it’s time for us to die
