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