[Intro] C F Am G C F Am G [Verse]
C                          F                               Am
   On a crowded stretch of highway, we're counting all the cars

                    G                                   C
The red ones vs the green ones by the headlights in the dark

                 F                               Am
We pull into the driveway, I see fragments of my heart

                             G                                C
Through the warm glow of the windows, spilling light onto the lawn

         F                      Am  G  C
I'm so aware of your silhouette

                    F                     Am  G  C
The shape of your face and the shadow cast
[Verse]
                         F                              Am
All the fingers hanging lifeless, fists balled up in my gloves

                  G                                    C
It's another mild winter, but I still feel them going numb

                 F
Jill smiles as I walk in

                        Am
There's a quiet sort of hum

                     G
Finally home after a long year

                    C
The house radiating love

        F                     Am  G  C
I'm so aware of your bassinet

            F                     Am  G
You're half awake being carried in
[Chorus]
            C             F
I'm feeling worn, feeling threadbare

          Am           G
Like the sleeves of my sweater

            C          F                   Am  G
I watch the light grow thinner and disappear
[Verse]
C                    F                        Am
  When I think of December, I always think of Mae

                      G                               C
And her house on Erdenheim where everyone I love felt safe

                      F
I drive past it every Christmas

                      Am
I'm gonna buy it some day

               G
And anyone who needs to could always stay
[Chorus]
            C             F
I'm feeling worn, feeling threadbare

          Am           G
Like the sleeves of my sweater

            C          F                   Am  G
I watch the light grow thinner and disappear

            C             F
I'm feeling worn, feeling threadbare

         Am            G
Like the sleeves of my sweater

        C          F                     Am  G
And the days only get longer from here
