[Verse 1]

D          A                        D
you fell down of course and then you
                              A    D
got up of course and started over
           A               D
forgot my name of course
                       A     D  C
then you started to remember


[Chorus]

                           G                    A       G A
pretty tough to think about the beginning of December
C                           G G*
pretty tough to think about
                       A           D                            A    D
pretty tough to think about  yeah yeah pretty tough to think about

*: During that section of the song you strum the G twice in a row
and immediately following the music stops and the lyrics continue.


[Verse 2]

                  A          D                       A    D
you're looking down again       and then you look me over
              A           D                          A    D  C
we're laying down again         on a blanket in the clover
                             G                             A    G A
the same boy you've always known well I guess I haven't grown
C                                  G G
the same boy you've always known
                             A   A  G (only play the first few strings of
the same boy you've always known        this G, then go right into the G5)


[Bridge]

G5
think of what the past did it could've lasted
                   A
so put it in your basket
G5
I hope you know a strong man who can lend you a hand
              E
lowering my casket

[Solo]  The beginning definitely starts with a B|-2h4-- and I think you can just
make up the rest of it since its most likely improved anyway.  Just play around
with it and some of the stuff from the intro and I bet you'll get pretty close.


[Verse 3]

A                         D                       A       D
I thought this is just today and soon you'll be returning
             A                        D                                   A   D
the coldest blue ocean water cannot stop my heard and mind from burning
    C (just one strum or so)    G G                            A    A
everyone who's in the know says    that's exactly how it goes
 C (stop after one strum)             G G                        A**
and if there's anything good about me    I'm the only one who knows
