Chords with lyrics

[Intro]
C majorC   A minorAm   DmDm   G+G

[Verse]

C majorC
Here comes the frost that freezes every year
A minorAm
Shuttered windows hang the advent calendar
DmDm
What are you doing on your own this frozen year
G+G
I know you're changing like the trees in Montpelier


C majorC
You took the job that put you on the road
A minorAm
For days and weeks in motels, sleepy TV glow
DmDm
With static filtering through payphones in the snow
G+G
It drowns you at home by Christmases and love-you-so's

[Chorus]

A minorAm
And all our promises come so easy
FF
They fill the distances til our next meeting

C majorC             G+G
But you're always off the phone long before I'd prefer to be

[Intro again, feel free to experiment]

C majorC   A minorAm   DmDm   G+G

[Verse]

C majorC
Down northern weeks she gets some money saved
A minorAm
I felt the kicking groan that pinned me every day
DmDm
I will look fat and happy when you get home you will say
G+G
But I didn't mean to future stay

[Ending Chorus]

A minorAm
But all our promises come so freely
FF
When all I really want is you close to me
C majorC             G+G
But you were already out the door by the time it occurred to me
