[Bbm] And you [Fm] said don't give me nothing [Bbm] you don't [Fm] wanna lose
[Bbm] I said darling [Fm] I'll give you everything I got
If I [Bbm] want I'm to choose Then I got on a plane and flew
[Bbm] Far away [Fm] from you [Bbm] Though unwillingly [F] I left
[Fm] And it [Bbm] was so, so [Fm] hard to do The [Gb] [Db] streets here at home
Have rapidly [Fm] filled up with the [Bbm] whitest of snow
[Gb] And they don't [Db] make no excuse for themselves [Fm] And there's no need [Bbm] I [Gb] know
I miss you [Db] more than I [Ab] [Gb]
and every month [Db] [Ab] [Gb]
[Bbm] But there's nothing [F] more to it
I just [Db] get through it Ah [Bbm] there's nothing [F] more to it
I just [Db] get through it [Bbm]
It always [Fm] takes me by surprise
[Bbm] How dark it gets this [Fm] time of year [Bbm]
And how apparent [Fm] it all becomes
That [Bbm] you're not close, not even [Fm] near No [Bbm]
matter how [Fm] many times I tell [Bbm] myself
I have to be [Fm] sincere I [Bbm]
have a hard [Fm] time standing up
[Bbm] And facing [Fm] those fears [Gb] But Frank [Db] put it best when [Fm] he said
You can't plan on [Bbm] the heart [Gb]
Those words [Db] keep me on my feet
[Fm] When I think I might just [Bbm] fall apart [Gb] No I miss you [Db] more than I [Ab] [Gb] and every month
[Db] [Ab] [Gb] [Bbm] But there's nothing [F] more to it [Gb] I just [Db] get through it
Ah [Bbm] there's nothing [F] more to it [Ab] I just get [Db] through it
Ah [Bbm] there's nothing more [F] to it [Gb] I just get [Db] through it
[Eb]
And so I ask where [Ab] are you now Just when I [Eb] needed you
I won't ask [Db] again Because [Ab] I know there's [Eb]
[Db] not [Ab]
