Cold December Chords

   
*Note: this is not his original version, I've transposed it a few half steps down 
so I can sing it in a more female-friendly key. All chords should be accurate 
though and this is the WHOLE song. let me know if you find any issues. Enjoy!

[Chords]
D, G, A, Bm

[Intro]
D       

[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

[Bridge]
D                                  G                       D
I cant fall asleep to your mystery slowly blowing from the shore
D             
I have not failed to be what you'd expect of me
G                                  A
Swallowing glass just to stay pure

[Verse]
D            
Summers come and summer has gone 
G                            D
Your christmas cards cant comfort me

You've found new friends and tied all the ends
G                    D
It's freezing in the loneliest winter

[Bridge]
D
It could be warm you see, a statue next to me 
G                              D
Swimming away from the ice and snow

Could I have failed to see the signs in front of me
G                                                          A  G
Warning and flashing symbols, subtle and simple I couldnt see
          A
I couldnt see

Bm G A  
Bm         G             A

          G              Bm
        It's such a cold december
        G             D
        Its so cold
