[Intro]
[D]
[Verse]
[D]I've been waiting, pacing along the [G]halls ever since you left [D]here
I've been cleaning, scrubbing the plates and [G]weeding out the [D]garden dear

I have not failed to be what you'd expect of me
[G]Swallowing glass just to stay pure[A]
[D]All the birds are heading down south but [G]you're staying up north you say
[D]I've got jackets blankets and sheets, its [G]going to be a cold [D]december
[Bridge]
[D]It could be warm you see, a statue next to me
[D]Swimming away from the ice and [G]snow
[D]Could I have failed to see the signs in front of me
[G]Warning and flashing symbols, subtle and [D]simple I couldn't s[A]ee
[G]I couldnt [A]see
