[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
