(Verse)
Dm Am
It was the coldest night of the year,
Dm G
Snow-covered street lamps and Belvedere,
Dm
The moon was just a sliver,
Am
The light was fading,
Dm
The war was on its way,
G
And we were waiting,
Dm Am
You asked me how long I'd stay by your side,
Dm Am
So I answered with only just one reply,
Dm
Till the casket drops,
Bb
Till my dying day,
G
Till my heartbeat stops,
Am
Till my legs just break,
Dm Bb
Whoa, oh, whoa,
Am G
whoa, whoa, oh,
Dm Bb
Whoa, whoa, oh,
Am
Till the casket drops,
(same chords as verse)
A house made out of glass will surely shatter,
So we built a fortress of red bricks and ladders,
The ground, it started shaking,
The bombs are falling,
We could've walked away,
We had a warning,
You asked me how long I'd stay by your side,
So I answered with only just one reply,
Dm
Till the casket drops,
Bb
Till my dying day,
G
Till my heartbeat stops,
Am
Till my legs just break,
Dm Bb
Whoa, oh, whoa,
Am G
whoa, whoa, oh,
Dm Bb
Whoa, whoa, oh,
Am
Till the casket drops, ,
Bridge
Dm
So lay your burden down, baby,
Bb
Lead me out the door,
G
We can't escape this ricochet,
Am
I'm ready for this war,
Dm
So lay your burden down, baby,
Bb
Lead me out the door,
G
We can't escape this ricochet,
Am
I'm ready for this war,
Dm
Till the casket drops,
Bb
Till my dying day,
G
Till my heartbeat stops,
Am
Till my legs just break,
Dm Bb
Whoa, oh, whoa,
Am G
whoa, whoa, oh,
Dm Bb
Whoa, whoa, oh,
Am
Till the casket drops,
