[F#] And the winter [C#] [B] moves [G#m] about, [C#]
[D#m] Illinois, when my sister [C#] picks a fight, with [D#m] the Alexander
boy, and my father [B] locks the car, [G#m] [D#m]
by the store, still we figure out the [C#] keys, and [F#] follow him
[B] once more, oh [F#] my god, we see it [C#] on the floor, the woman on [G#] the bed, the ankle break [B] she
wore, stones [F#]
and sled, it could have been [C#] some other, the mind that knows [G#] itself, has a mind
that's more than just a thought, and says [B]

the traffic [C#] stops for a while, he's taken by [B] the elbow, oh [F#] my god, we're shuffling on
[C#] the floor, the mind that knows [G#] itself, has a mind that knows [B] what you want, so we run
[F#] back, scrambling [C#] for cover, the mind that knows [G#] itself, has a mind to kill [B] the other,
oh [F#] my god, you left [C#] us now for dead, you left us now [B] for [F#] dead
