Intro: Dm F C G x4
Dm F C
On Christmas morning, outside was pouring
G
All was hopeless in this home
Dm F C
And no one's speaking, no one creeping
G Dm
to see if she was on the phone
F C
And you were quiet, this routine riot
G Dm
was all but practical to me
F C
and if we see it, why can't we beat it
G
can we let each other be?
F C G
Forget December, it won't be better
Am G F
Than I remember it before
C G
and this month only, will be so lonely
Am G F
and not so holy anymore
thing had changed
C G Dm
all the problems just got worse
F
we sat in silence
C G Dm
no routine science could heal the sickness we rehearse
F C
and if I'm talking, my words are mocking
G
the deaf ears they have fallen on
Dm F C
These words are tainted with years of jaded
G
Innocence that's all but gone
F C G
Forget December, it won't be better
Am G F
than I remember it before
F C G
and this month only, will be so lonely
Am G F C G F C G
and not so holy anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore
F C G
Forget December, it won't be better
Am G F
than I remember it before
F C G
this month only will be so lonely
F C G
and not so holy anymore
F C G
Forget December it won't bet better
Am G F
than I rememebr it before
C G
a silent night won't feel quite right
Am G F
It's not so silent anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore
On Christmas morning, outside was pouring
all was hopeless in this home
F C G
Forget December, it won't be better
Am G F
Than I remember it before
C G
and this month only, will be so lonely
Am G F
and not so holy anymore
