Capo 3

C Dm7 F

        C                G
So save all of your light
              Am                  Em
For those who can't sleep at night
             F         C         G
And who can't even sing to their shadows
            C         G
Oh they ride into town
            Am               Em
And they throw the shots down
             F              C           G
And they save the last round for the windows

        F                      C                     G                    F
Singing don't let me into this year with an empty heart, with an empty heart
F                      C                     G
Don't let me into this year with an empty heart

I'm inside with my friends
We build fires and pretend
That the night could just bend on forever
While outside in the frost
Are the wolves and the lost
And we sing to the dogs or whoever

Singing don't let me into this year with an empty heart
With an empty heart
Don't let me into this year with an empty heart

There's a friend that I have
And for her I'll go back
You see all of these empties that I'm holding
They're too much for a man
Empty arms, empty hands
And she'll know me by the sound of my hoping

(ending varies from the chorus, as follows)
C                                         Dm7                       F
Don't let me into this year with an empty heart, with an empty heart
C                                         Dm7    F
Don't let me into this year with an empty heart
