[Verse 1]
Bb F
You said, "Send me stationary to make me horny"
Dm C
So I always write you letters in multicolours
Bb F
Decorating envelopes for foreplay
Dm C
Damn extended metaphors, I get carried away
Bb F
On the back of a natural disaster
Dm C
Fixed with parcel tape and with kids sticking plasters
Bb C
Nothing says, "I miss you" quite like
F
War poetry you carved in your door with a Stanley knife
[Chorus]
Bb C F
My year in lists
Bb C F
Stomping on your fingers as you're clinging on to the abyss
Bb C
So put on every winter coat that you've owned since '98
F C
And every midnight sees the countdown to another awful day
Bb
I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you
F
I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you
Bb G
I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you
[Verse 2]
Bb F
On your request, I compile a list
Dm C
Of my top five resolutions for this year (One!)
Bb F
I declined 'cause I decided that I (Two!)
Dm C
Do not believe in the New Year anymore (Three!)
Bb F
And you must confess that at times like these
Dm C
Hopefulness is tantamount to hopelessness (Four!)
Bb F
And I accept that it's time for a change
Dm C
But not in places like this with people like these (Five! Five! Five! Five! Five!)
[Chorus]
Bb C F
My year in lists
Bb C F
Stomping on your fingers as you're clinging on to the abyss
Bb C
So put on every winter coat that you've owned since '98
F C
And every midnight sees the countdown to another awful day
Bb
I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you
F
I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you
Bb G
I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you
