[Intro]
C, D, Gsus4, G (x2)
[Verse 1]
I followed footprints in th[C]e snow,[D]
Never knowing if I was[Gsus4] right behind you,[G]
Looking down no one [C]would know,[D]
I wasn't walking hand in [Gsus4]hand beside you.[G]
[Cborus]
For your footprints lead t[C]he way,[D]
To a hearth where hearts we[Gsus4] made surround you,[G]
You're awash in all its[C] glow,[D]
And I'm still standi[Gsus4]ng in the snow.[G]
[Verse 2]
I stood and watched the lights go out,
While the snowflakes settled all around me,
And though it filled my heart with doubt,
Couldn't move and this is where you found me.
[Cborus]
As our footprints disappear,
Snow erasing how I came to be here,
I've got nowhere else to go,
Now you're standi[F]ng in the s[Em7]now.
[Bridge]
[D/F#]Look f[G]or [A]un--[G/B]der---[F]standing in the [Em7]snow,
[D/F#]You l[G]ook j[A]ust [G/B]out---[F]standing in the [Em7]snow,
[Gsus4]Standing in the snow.[G]
[Instrumental]
C, D, Gsus4, G (x4)
[Verse 3]
Now it's almost Christmas Eve,
And I'm surrounded with the sound of laughter,
To give is better than to deceive,
For I received a happy ever after.
[Cborus]
You might have left me in the cold,
A fitting ending for the fool that I was,
But you'd be cuddled up alone,
And I'd still be standing in the snow.
[Outro]
C, D, Gsus4, G
