Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
Em A D D

Verse 1:
 Em                             D
Walkin' down this lonely stretch of beach, she and I walked down a thousand times
  Em                              D
I just can force myself to give her up like all the things she left behind
 Em                           A
Gone are the days, when I'd wake up with her warm body next to mine

Chorus:
G             A       D
It gets cold here in the wintertime
           G              Em    A
And my mind drifts away, to that house across the bay
G          A     D             G
A long talk and a glass of wine and we'd love the night away
          Em A              D
But that was yesterday ... in that house across the bay

Turnaround:
Em A D D

Verse 2:
   Em                              D
Her laughter was contagious, her walk, her talk, her smile lit up every room
        Em                               D
They say things happen for a reason, but I can't find one good reason, why she's gone so soon
Em                             A
Life just seems to hang on every thought and everything we used to be

Chorus:
G             A       D
It gets cold here in the wintertime
           G              Em    A
And my mind drifts away, to that house across the bay
G          A     D             G
A long talk and a glass of wine and we'd love the night away
          Em A              D
But that was yesterday ... in that house across the bay

Verse 3:
             Em              A
There was sunshine every day and we'd love the night away
             D
In that house across the bay

Outro:
Em A D
