Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

Baltimore's quiet and cold, there's no ship in the bay

 To take me back home in time for the holiday

 Oh December never ends

 If you'd come here instead, I've got gifts and food and friends

 Plenty of room in my bed

 Only you can help me mend

Refrain

 So here's to being alone, to anyone on that road, if anyone's listening

 Will think of me when I'm gone, it's not gonna hurt for long

 So you can just forget

 And I can't live without regret

Bridge

When I return to you at last

Surprise me in red and black

Oh no you never ever give in, never give in

In your smile, there's a certain lack

A muscle strain from front to back

So I'll do anything to get me right back home
