[Intro]
A F#m D E
[Verse 1]
A F#m
The moon is bright tonight
D E A
I see it shining down on the surface of the reservoir
F#m
I don't know where you are
D E A
But the last time I was here, you were by my side
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C#m
On that night
D E
It was December, don't you remember?
A C#m
You were by my side on that night
D E
When I told you I was ready
F#m
Ready to go on
A C#m
But I don't know where to go
D F#m
You can't help me find my way
A C#m
I am better off without you
D A
But it won't be quite the same
[Chorus 1]
C#m D E
Here by my side
A C#m D E
Now you're not here by my side
[Instrumental]
A F#m D E
[Verse 2]
A F#m
Our hopes were high that night
D E A
Your eyes were a time machine, crystalline and golden
F#m
When you said "hold it,"
D E A
Then something changed, how I wish you were by my side
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C#m
On that night
D E
It was December, don't you remember?
A C#m
You were by my side on that night
D E
When I told you I was ready
F#m
Ready to go on
A C#m
But I don't know where to go
E F#m
You can't help me find my way
A C#m
I am better off without you
D A
But it won't be quite the same
[Chorus 2]
C#m D E
Here by my side
A C#m D E
Now you're not here by my side
[Bridge]
F#m
Well, let me know
A
Is that alright?
D
You could stay just one more hour
A E
We could watch the sun rise
F#m A
And even if I never make you change your mind
D E
At least you were kind, you were kind
A
When you were by my side
[Pre-Chorus 3]
C#m
On that night
D E
It was December, don't you remember?
A C#m
You were by my side on that night
D E
When I told you I was ready
F#m
Ready to go on
A C#m
But I don't know where to go
D F#m
You can't help me find my way
A C#m
I am better off without you
D A
But it won't be quite the same
[Chorus 3]
C#m D E
Here by my side
A C#m D E
Now you're not here by my side
A D
By my side on that night
A D
By my side on that night
A E A
I remember on that cold December night
