Verse
F#
It's the curse of a season, well versed in despair
G#m B F#
Each year I come back home alone to find you there
F#
In the smoking garden, the years fall like snow
G#m B F#
You had my hungover heart tied up in a bow
[Pre-Chorus]
B F#
And as I gazed into your eyes
G#m B
On that cold December night
B F# G#m
I almost saw the other life we promised to live
F#
But never did
[Chorus]
F# B G#m B
Woaaaaaaaaah Woah oh oh oh Woah oh oh oh oh oh uh oh
[Verse 2]
F#
Your dad told me you’re married
Mum said you're thinking kids
G#m B F#
I'm still the mess I was in 2006
G#m B F#
I’ve just got lines around my eyes to prove I've lived
[Chorus]
B F#
And as I gazed into your eyes
G#m B
On that cold December night
B F# G#m
I almost saw the other life we promised to live
Oh, we never did
[Chorus]
F# B G#m B
Woaaaaaaaaah Woah oh oh oh Woah oh oh oh oh oh uh oh
[Outro]
D#m
All your friends sing songs in silence
(When the morning comes)
F#
You make excuses and you say it's time to think
(On this Christmas Day)
B
You look so pretty in the sack, oh Lord
(I'm gonna go back home and)
G#m
We're getting older and this song is about her
(Resume the year again)
[Chorus x1]
E* A* F#m* A*
Woaaaaaaaaah Woah oh oh oh Woah oh oh oh oh oh uh oh
[Chorus x2]
F# B G#m B
Woaaaaaaaaah Woah oh oh oh Woah oh oh oh oh oh uh oh
