December's Traditions chords and lyrics - FRIGHTENED RABBIT

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Em]December’s t[G]raditions
Suck the last [Em]of summer from our cheeks
Draw the curtains, strip [G]the trees
[Em]In so- called living rooms
[D]Scottish pas[Am]times come
[Em]to roost
Love’s labour stains [G]a linen
[D]sheet[G][C]
[Em]The ghostly body
[Am]Who makes [Em]his bed

[Verse 2]
beside you
Is slowly losing [Am]teeth[G]
The [Em]boy needs sunlight
[Am]And [D]a shot of modesty
[Em]He needs to get some sleep[G][Bm][C][Bm]
[C][D][Bm][C][Bm][C][D][Bm][C]

[Verse 3]
[Am]
It’s not the [G]answer
A sticking plaster [C]on a shattered bone
What do you [G]need?
What do you need [Am]from me?
It’s not the [Bm]answer
Keep treating cancer like a cold
[C]What do you need?
What do you [D]need from
[Em]me?
[D][Em]

[Verse 4]
[C][Em]
After months of [Bm]griev[G] in[Bm]g
Fuck [Am]the grief, I’m leav[Bm]ing
[Em]Will you l[Bm]eave with me?[D][Bm][Am]
[Em]The [Bm]bloodloss, the towering cost
Of mouth [D]to mouth [Am]and tongue
[Em]to tongue
One lick brings warm [G]metallic taste
[D]I may correct mys[Em]elf
Con[Bm]vince you that there’s no-
[D]one else
[Am]In volumes of new leaves
[Em]If you want a sa[Bm]int you don’t want me[G]

[C][Am]

[Verse 5]
It’s not the answer
[G]A sticking plaster on a shattered bone
[C]What do you nee[G]d?
What do you need from [Am]me?
It’s not the [G]answer
Keep treating cancer like a cold
[C]What do [G]you need?
What do you need [Am]from me?
It’s not the [G]answer

[Verse 6]
I’m just begging to be [C]told
What you need
[G]What you need from me
[Am]If I had the answe[Bm]r
I’d write a book on what I know
[C]What do you need?
What [D]do you need from me?
