GDecember came faCster than most
And before Dwe knew it, iGt was cG/F#old
EmAnd you turned tCo me
DAs if to saGy that we should not Chave come this Gway
YGou didG/F#n't ask a queEmstion, sCo I had nDo replyG  
GAnd we came upon a congrCegation
And we turnDed our faces to tGhe consG/F#tellation
Singing Emwe are both CbelievDers nGow
GBut still there was no vCoice in the cloGuds
YGou see, the sG/F#tars are not our conEmscience
TChey are just anotheDr light Gin our eyes
In Emour eyes
They are Cjust another liDght keeping us bGlind
