E A
I spent all of Christmas Eve fake angry at you for
E A E
Who knows what now or then and you spoke so fast
A E A
I just sat back relaxed and took you all in
E A
I spent all of Christmas Eve trying to get warmer
E
After standing outside for hours knowing at this point
A
I’d be lucky to get any sleep
E A
And I’ll toss and turn until the early morning
E
Happily ignoring that my blue jeans
A
Didn’t do a fucking thing for me
Against this cold
E A
Sober or not, I locked everything you sent me
E
Cause what’s better than seeing
A
What I’m missing daily
I guess what I’m trying to say is that
E E E A A A
You might run, oh but I won’t hide
E E E
Shed an ounce of light
A A A
On my half-hopeless life
Don’t let me go back
E
And though I’d like to say more
A
I guess, I’ll just duck and cover
E
Almost praying that you trip over
A
The cluster of words I laid out before having to leave
E
But since you’ve taken the time to read so carefully
A
Everything I’ve ever sent
E
I guess I’ll spend the next few lines
A
Hoping and wishing
Yet thanking appropriately
E E E A A A
You might run, oh but I won’t hide
E E E
Shed an ounce of light
A A A
On my half-hopeless life
Don’t let me go back
E E E A A A
You might run, oh but I won’t hide
E E E
Shed an ounce of light
A A A
On my half-hopeless life
Don’t let me go back
E A
To Erin: Please read later
E
Cause I don’t think I have the heart
A
To let you read this now
E
But if I had the heart
A
You know that I know better
E A
This isn’t how you say aloud, you say aloud x2
E E E A A A
You might run, oh but I won’t hide
E E E
Shed an ounce of light
A A A
On my half-hopeless life
Don’t let me go back (Guitar 2 Plays this during the second loop of the previous verse, To Erin…)
