[Verse 1]
Dyou fell doAwn of course and then youD  
got up of course and started oAverD  
forgot my nAame of courseD  
then you started to remAemberD  C  
[Chorus]
pretty tough to think about Gthe beginning of DecAemberG  A  
C   G  G*
pretty tough to think about
pretty tough to think aAbout yeah yDeah pretty tough to think aboAutD  
*: During that section of the song you strum the G twice in a row
and immediately following the music stops and the lyrics continue.
[Verse 2]
you're looking dowAn again Dand then you look me AoverD  
we're laying dAown again Don a blanket in the cAloverD  C  
the same boy you've always knGown well I guess I haven't groAwnG  A  
Cthe same boy you've always knownG  G  
A   A   G(only play the first few strings of
the same boy you've always known this G, then go right into the G5)
[Bridge]
G5think of what the past did it could've lasted
so put it in your bAasket
G5I hope you know a strong man who can lend you a hand
lowering my caEsket
e|-----3
[Solo] The beginning definitely starts with a B|-2h4-- and I think you can just
make up the rest of it since its most likely improved anyway. Just play around
with it and some of the stuff from the intro and I bet you'll get pretty close.
[Verse 3]
AI thought this is just todDay and soon you'll be reAturningD  
the coldest bAlue ocean water cannot stDop my heard and mind from burningA  D  
C(just one strum or so) G   G   A  A  
everyone who's in the know says that's exactly how it goes
C(stop after one strum) G   G  A**
and if there's anything good about me I'm the only one who knows
**: use an arpeggio up on the last A)
