{Intro} 
A#       
 

{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
