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