Emmy the Great - The Woods

December came faster than most
D G G/F#
And before we knew it, it was cold
Em C
And you turned to me
D G C G
As if to say that we should not have come this way
G G/F# Em C D G
You didn't ask a question, so I had no reply
G C
And we came upon a congregation
D G G/F#
And we turned our faces to the constellation
Em C D G
Singing we are both believers now
G C G
But still there was no voice in the clouds
G G/F# Em
You see, the stars are not our conscience
C D G
They are just another light in our eyes
Em
In our eyes
C D G
They are just another light keeping us blind
G C
Long time I have left Umeah
D G G/F#
Long time travelled in your company
Em C D G
But I see the road before us is split
G C G
And I know that I should follow it
G G/F# Em
But I know that I will find you
C D G
When the morning spreads it's breath across the night
Em
Find you
C D G
In the morning at the end of my life
G D G
G Em C D G
G C
December's roads are long and they're tough
D G G/F#
And sometimes I get really tired and stuck
Em C D G
But I keep the thought that when I die
C D G
They will carry me and lay me by your side
C D G
They will carry me and lay me by your side
Em
And there amongst the dirt
C D G
At last our roads again will merge
