December's traditions suck the last of summer from our cheeks 
          Am                   G     C 
Draws the curtains, strips the trees 
   Dsus2     Am       C             G                Dsus2 
In so-called living rooms, Scottish pastimes come to roost 
               Am            C      G 
Love's labor's stain linen's sheet 


Interlude: Am  Dsus2 (2x)

The ghostly body who makes his bed beside you 
Then slowly losing teeth 
The boy needs sunlight and the shock of modesty 
He needs to get some sleep 


Interlude 1: Am  Dsus2 Am Dsus2  G  C  C -Dsus2 (2x) 



Bb5               F                Am                   Bb5 
It's not the answer   that's taken plaster of shattered bone 
                  F             Am      
What do you need,   what do you need from me 
Bb5                F         Am              Bb5 
It's not the answer   to the cancer like the cold 
                 F              Am        Bb5 
What do you need,   what do you need from me?

After months of grieving, fuck the grief I'm leaving 
Will you leave with me? 
The blood loss, the towering cost 
Mouth to mouth, tongue to tongue 
The lick brings warm the talent taste 
I can't correct myself, convince you 
That there's no-one else in volume, good news 
If you want a safe, you don't want me

It's not the answer that's taken plaster of shattered bone 
What do you need, what do you need from me 
It's not the answer to the cancer like the cold 
What do you need, what do you need from me? 
It's not the answer, I'm just begging to be told 
What do you need, what do you need from me 
If I had the answer, write a book of what I know 
What do you need, what do you need from me?
