Hours Outside In The Snow

        E                         
I spent all of Christmas Eve fake 
A
angry at you for
E                     A           
Who knows what now or then and you 
 E
spoke so fast
  A             E                 
I just sat back relaxed and took 
       A
you all in


        E                          
I spent all of Christmas Eve trying
        A
 to get warmer
                           E
After standing outside for hours 
knowing at this point
       A
I’d be lucky to get any sleep


 E                              
And I’ll toss and turn until the 
       A
early morning
        E
Happily ignoring that my blue jeans
            A
Didn’t do a fucking thing for me
Against this cold


E                                 
Sober or not, I locked everything 
         A
you sent me
                         E
Cause what’s better than seeing
         A
What I’m missing daily
I guess what I’m trying to say is 
that



E   E     E           A A     A
You might run, oh but I won’t hide
Continúa después del anuncio
        E     E  E
Shed an ounce of light
           A   A    A
On my half-hopeless life
Don’t let me go back


                       E
And though I’d like to say more
                            A
I guess, I’ll just duck and cover
                        E
Almost praying that you trip over
The cluster of words I laid out 
A
before having to leave



                 E
But since you’ve taken the time to 
read so carefully
A
Everything I’ve ever sent
             E
I guess I’ll spend the next few 
lines
           A
Hoping and wishing
Yet thanking appropriately


E   E     E           A A     A
You might run, oh but I won’t hide
        E     E  E
Shed an ounce of light
           A   A    A
On my half-hopeless life
Don’t let me go back


E   E     E           A A     A
You might run, oh but I won’t hide
        E     E  E
Shed an ounce of light
           A   A    A
On my half-hopeless life
Don’t let me go back


      E              A
To Erin: Please read later
                      E
Cause I don’t think I have the heart
                     A
To let you read this now
                 E
But if I had the heart
                     A
You know that I know better
                       E         
This isn’t how you say aloud, you 
     A
say aloud     x2


E   E     E           A A     A
You might run, oh but I won’t hide
        E     E  E
Shed an ounce of light
           A   A    A
On my half-hopeless life
Don’t let me go back

second loop of the previous verse,
