Verse:
G C G
It's been a long december too long for my taste
G C G
But I am a traveller and this is a place
G C G
I'm leaving this evening to be on my way
G D G
To somewhere farther from you
G C G
Hands in my pocket I walk a while
G C G
Until an open sign calls and I step inside
G C G
I'll stay for a minute then I'll have to try
G D G
To get a little farther from you
Chorus:
C G
I sit by the window and wait for my drink
C G
People walk by me and smile
G C G
It's warm by the fireplace, dark in the street
G D G
Maybe I'll stay a while
G D G
Maybe I'll stay a while
G C G
I've been living this way for a couple of years
G C G
A little time there and a little time here
G C G
Leaving's the only way I can stay clear
G D G
And keep from thinking about you
Chorus:
C G
I sit by the window and wait for my drink
C G
People walk by me and smile
G C G
It's warm by the fireplace, dark in the street
G D G
Maybe I'll stay a while
G D G
Maybe I'll stay a while
C G
Lately I've been thinking I've grown a little tired
C G
And I've grown a little stronger than I realized
C G
I'm starting to remember what life was like
G D G
Before I started thinking about you
G C G
It's been a long december too long for my taste
G C G
But I am a traveller and this is a place
G C G
I was leaving this evening to be on my way
G D G
But I'm a little bit more over you now
G D G
A little bit more over you
Chorus:
C G
I sit by the window she brings me my drink
C G
Turns around and smiles
G C G
It's warm in here, it's cold on the street
G D G
Maybe I'll stay a while
G D G
Maybe I'll stay a while
