intro   E  F#7  
ELight another F#7candle in my Eroom
Live another F#7season straight Ethrough
You're the one that F#7makes me feel Enice
From all the things you F#7said tonight E  
Early in the morning the steets
Run across the shadows of trees
But we just stayed inside and lost time
We talked until we lost track of time
EEven in the sAmajongs that I Bsing
Do you fear the F#7history they Ebring?
                 Amj          B  
Sleeping with my head in your arms
You're the one that F#7keeps me from EharmF#7  
Early in December last year
The biggest moon fell broken and clear
West of where our city lies still
Over there on Chestnut Hill
Philadelphia streets turned to ice
And my bed felt empty those nights
Sleeping with my head on your chest
You're the one that knew me the best
EmajYou were there so F#7long
EmajYou were there for F#7so long
EWill you come F#7back?
EWill you come F#7back?Amaj  
BWill you come back?Amaj  
BWill you come back?Amaj  
BWill you come back?F#7  
EMaybe it's in Amajyou that I Bsaw
all the hope I F#7thought I had Elost
Esleeping with my Amajhead on your Bchest
You're the one that F#7knew me the Ebest F#7
