The Dweather man, this morning
Said a Bmcold front's moving in
GSent a chill right Athrough the heart of Dme
Another year's gone by
It's a Bmbout that time again
To Gbreak down and un Awrap your memor Dy
When GDecember comes around
All your Dpictures can be found
Em7Lyin' on the Abed, right next to Dme
It's a Glonely game I play
I get Dlost in yesterday
And as cr Em7azy as it sounds
I only Gmiss you
When De Acember comes a Dround
I Dput on that old sweater
You know the Bmblue one, that you made
That GI could never Awear for someone Delse
I put on our old records
It's the Bmonly time I play 'em
I Gsit at home, and Alisten by my Dself
When GDecember comes around
All your Dpictures can be found
Em7Lyin' on the Abed, right next to Dme
It's a Glonely game I play
I get Dlost in yesterday
And as cr Em7azy as it sounds
I only Gmiss you
When De Acember comes a Dround
When the Bmsnow begins to fall
I can F#mfeel you in the air
That's when your Gmemory comes to call
Thank God, it's Aonly once a Byear
When ADecember comes around
All your Epictures can be found
F#m7Lyin' on the Bbed, right next to Eme
It's a Alonely game I play
I get Elost in yesterday
And as cr F#m7azy as it sounds
I only Amiss you
When De Bcember comes a Eround
