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