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/C# 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/C# 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
