Am C F
Gimme, gimme, gimme the truth now

I promise I can handle it if you can

Cause you've been running from yourself for way too long
D Am C
So give me any reason not to cut you out

Watch you pretend you know it all

In that bleak December, you're just too cold

You would hold your cards inside your chest

I think I drove too far for that bleak December

And how full of shit you are,
D Am C F D
how full of shit you are
VERSE
I really really really wanna know you
And not the fifty fucking personalities inside your skull
If you'd stop trying to steal the spotlight and steal the show
Then maybe you would have a better chance of not dying alone
So I hit the road
Chorus
In that bleak December, you're just too cold
But I need the answer, before you fold
You would hold your cards inside your chest
I think I drove too far for that bleak December
And how full of shit you are
BRIDGE
F G Am
Now what are you to me
C F G Am
But a fly inside a web of lies you weave
C F G Am
You're not fooling anyone, not you, not me
C F
So I wonder how you stay alive
Em
When all I do is freeze
Chorus
In that bleak December, you're just too cold
But I need the answer, before you fold
You would hold your cards inside your chest
I think I drove too far for that bleak December
In that bleak December, you're just too cold
But I need the answer, before you fold
You would hold your cards inside your chest
I think I drove too far for that bleak December
And how full of shit you are
