C                       Em
I can't say I remember
          Am            G
Being born in december
             C               Em
But the world looks different
                     Am                G
When you're birthed to the cold
        C                   
As a child I rarely spoke
Am       G
Often I heard
              C                Em
That my grandfather offered
                   G
A dollar per word
C                         Em
I like that you're thoughtful
Am                   Em
Perceptive and clear
         F                        Am
Your friendship comes slowly
       Dm           Am
And fiercely to pier
           Dm      F
You're loyal, intuitive
Bm              F
Always true blue
G           F
Of my affections
Em                    Dm
These are but a few

F  G Dm G Dm G Dm G Dm Em  
 
G                        F                       
I'm december I'm rare
Dm             G
I'm gold I'm flare
C                 F
I'm different I swear
              Dm           G    Em G hold
Just like everyone here
           C               Em 
You're quiet, look inward
        Am              Em
Compassion and plan
F                 Am
Always your nature
     Dm                  C
To help those you can
Dm            F
Covet our friendship
     Bm            F
My glory was you
    G         F
A child of december
Em                   Dm 
I'm proud that I knew
        C             F
I am born I am end
        Dm         G
I am torn I am mend
         C           F   C
I am cyclical, rend
       Dm            G   Dm Em G
I am sick in the end

C ring out

 C              
I can't say I remember
Em                    G
Being born in december
             C                     Em
But the world looks different
Am                                     Bm
When you're birthed to the cold
F (picks up here)  Am
My father was absent
Dm                      Am
My mother was indifferent
     G            F
If they didn't love me
C                     G
It taught me to hold

C
T'was the fourth of July
Am
The fireworks on high
Bm        F              C
Lit our rooftop in Manhattan
Dm                                      Em
And I could feel you on my right
Dm                        C
You pulled me to a kiss 
                   Bm               C
Right at the anthem's “rockets” part
G
And I swear that at that moment
C
I could feel you in my heart
C
Hold tight, be strong

And soldier on
Am                            G     
Cuz bebe you're my capricorn
F                                  Em    
Sometimes the world gets difficult
                           G
But you're not the type
                    
To give up now
C                                   G
We're blessed, we're cursed
 C                 
The best, the worst
Am
But if you're the chorus
G
I'm the verse
                     F                         Em
And there's nothing out there stronger
             F                  G
When together we're a song
 C                                  Bm
You've been out hurting yourself
                Am               Bm
I can see it in your eyes
           F                 
You turn up after days
C
A cacophony of lies
G                      C
Harm you do yourself-
                Bm
You do to me-
                 C
And I can't control
                  G                  F
I swear when you get high
                  C               Dm
It takes a little of my soul
       C           
Hold tight, be strong
           Bm
Soldier on
   Am                         G
As bebe you're my capricorn
 F                                             Em
Sometimes the world gets difficult
                  F                  G              
But your'e not the type to give up now
                      C
I'm blessed, I'm cursed

The best, the worst
        Am       
If you're the chorus
G
I'm the verse
                                 Em
But there's nothing out there stronger
           F                        G
When together we're a song
