Winter In America

Intro: Dm7 Cmaj7

Dm7                                                     Cmaj7
The harbour’s misty in the morning, love, oh how I miss December.
Dm7                                       Cmaj7
The frangipani opens up to kiss the salty air.
Abmaj7                              Cmaj7
I know you’re getting ready for the office,
Abmaj7               Cmaj7
I suppose he’s still there,
     Dm7  Bb          F       C      
with you, sharing our morning sun.

Chorus 1:
F                    Cm    Bb                      F
Winter in America is cold, and I just keep growing older.
F                   Cm     Bb             Gm                   F
I wish I could have known, enough of love to leave love enough alone.

I’ve learnt something of love I wish I’d learnt before you left me,
but its funny how you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.
I hope you’re getting all the love you ever wanted,
But I wish I was still there,
With you, sharing our morning sun.

F                             Cm   Bb                 F
I waken to the sadness of the day, and making love to strangers,
F                    Cm 
and wishing I’d have known, 
Bb             Gm                   F
enough of love to leave love enough alone.

Repeat chorus and fade
