VERSE
D D
Baltimore's quiet and cold, there's no ship in the bay
G
To take me back home in time for the holiday
A
Oh December never ends
D
If you'd come here instead, I've got gifts and food and friends
G
Plenty of room in my bed
A
Only you can help me mend
REFRAIN
Bm G D D/Db
So here's to being alone, to anyone on that road, if anyone's listening
Bm G D
Will think of me when I'm gone, it's not gonna hurt for long
D/Db G
So you can just forget
A
And I can't live without regret
BRIDGE
G
When I return to you at last
Bm
Surprise me in red and black
A D
Oh no you never ever give in, never give in
G
In your smile, there's a certain lack
Bm
A muscle strain from front to back
A
So I'll do anything to get me right back home
