Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
December came faster than most
[G/f#]
And before we knew it, it was cold
And you turned to me
As if to say that we should not have come this way
[G/f#]
You didn't ask a question, so I had no reply
And we came upon a congregation
[G/f#]
And we turned our faces to the constellation
Singing we are both believers now
But still there was no voice in the clouds
[G/f#]
You see, the stars are not our conscience
They are just another light in our eyes
In our eyes
They are just another light keeping us blind
Long time I have left Umeah
[G/f#]
Long time travelled in your company
But I see the road before us is split
And I know that I should follow it
[G/f#]
But I know that I will find you
When the morning spreads it's breath across the night
Find you
In the morning at the end of my life
December's roads are long and they're tough
[G/f#]
And sometimes I get really tired and stuck
But I keep the thought that when I die
They will carry me and lay me by your side
They will carry me and lay me by your side
And there amongst the dirt
At last our roads again will merge
