[Bm] [Em]
[D]
[Bm] [Em]
[G] I [D] was up all night, [Bm] [Em] socializing Trying [D] to keep the late [Bm] depression from [Em] crystallizing
[G] Now the sun is lurking just [F#m] behind the Scarborough [D] horizon
[Bm] And you're not [Em] even here [A] on the coldest night [G] of the [D]
[A] year
[D] I look in Yonge Street [Bm] at [Em] a glance, [A] [D] heard the punkers play
[Bm] Watched the [Em] bikers dance, [G] everybody wishing [F#m] they could go to the [D] South of France
[Bm] And you're not [Em] even here
[E] on the coldest night [G] of the [D] year
[D]
[A] [F#] Hey look at me now, see the shape [G] I'm in
[F#m] Taken me so long to catch [C#] on to what's going [Bm] on inside this skin
[G] [F#] When two lovers really love, there's [G] nothing there
[A] But the suddenly compact universe of skin and [Bm] breath and hair
[A] [D]
[Bm] [Em]
[E] [D]
[Bm] [Em]
[F#m] [G]
[A] [D] I watched the all night TV [Bm] show in the [Em] all night bar
[E] [D] I drove all the people [Bm] home, I was the [Em] one with the car
[A] [G] Now I'm sitting here [A] alone and sleepless, wondering [D] where you are
[Bm] Wishing [Em] you were here [A] on the coldest [G] night of the year
Now I'm sitting here [A] alone and sleepless, wondering [D] where you are
[Bm] Wishing [Em] you were here [A] on the coldest night of the [Bm] year
