{Verse}
A# D# A#
I've been waiting, pacing along the halls ever since you left here
D# A#
I've been cleaning, scrubbing the plates and weeding out the garden dear
A# D# A#
I can't fall asleep to your mystery slowly blowing from the shore
I have not failed to be what you'd expect of me
D# F
Swallowing glass just to stay pure
A# D#
All the birds are heading down south but you're staying up north you say
A# D# A#
I've got jackets blankets and sheets, its going to be a cold december
{Bridge}
It could be warm you see, a statue next to me
Swimming away from the ice and snow
Could I have failed to see the signs in front of me
F D#
Warning and flashing symbols, subtle and simple I couldn't see
F
I couldnt see
{Chorus}
A# (trim) D# G
If only time could slow down, maybe I could come up
G D# F
G D# F
It's such a cold december
It's such a cold december
Its so cold
