[Verse]
D G D
I've been waiting, pacing along the halls ever since you left here
G D
I've been cleaning, scrubbing the plates and weeding out the garden dear
D G D
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
G A
Swallowing glass just to stay pure
D G
All the birds are heading down south but you're staying up north you say
D G D
I've got jackets blankets and sheets, its going to be a cold december
[Bridge]
D
It could be warm you see, a statue next to me
D G
Swimming away from the ice and snow
D
Could I have failed to see the signs in front of me
G D A
Warning and flashing symbols, subtle and simple I couldn't see
G A
I couldnt see
[Chorus]
D (trim) G Bm
If only time could slow down, maybe I could come up

Summers come and summer has gone
G D
Your christmas cards cant comfort me
You've found new friends and tied all the ends

It's freezing in the loneliest winter
