Further North

C                           Am        F  G         C
The road tonight is cold with ice and no cars pass by.
C             Am
Thank god for no phone call.
F     G         C
Just snow and a fire.
C                Am                              F

December endings and since you sent me things, I just feel further north.
C              Am           F    G           C
This year took ten years to tell me that I'm alone again.


C      G          F        C
Everything here's about to break.
C       G         F              C
I'm one inch from all that I can take,
           Am          G             F
and it's beautiful and sad, but it's all that I have.
        C         G     F
So tonight, let's stay inside.
C           G              F
I'll be the husband with a book for a bride.
C              G    F
Tonight, let's stay inside.
             E?
I could play guitar.
          C      G      F             C
I've got so many songs that you never heard,
              G        F
and they weren't about you.
                 C    G                   F
I won't change a word just because you're gone.

C                    Am
The trees creak with arthritic arms.
F       G                 C
Brittle in their powdered bark.
C                Am                 F     G        C
Blue moon light, I can't cry right, but I miss you tonight.


C      G          F        C
Everything here's about to break.
C       G         F              C
I'm one inch from all that I can take,
           Am          G             F
and it's beautiful and sad, but it's all that I have.
        C         G     F
So tonight, let's stay inside.


C         G               F        C
    G        F
There are things that I'd like to try with you, but I stay inside.
C             G       F
Tonight, I'll stay inside.
                    E?
I could play guitar.
