G#maj7            Cm
You may tire of me,
          D#            G#maj7
As our December sun is setting,
Because I'm not who I used to be.

No longer easy on the eyes
But these wrinkles masterfully
disguise the youthful boy below

Who turned your way and saw
something he was not looking for
Both a beginning and an end

But now he lives inside someone
he does not recognize
When he catches his reflection on accident

On the back of a motorbike
With your arms outstretched,
trying to take flight, leaving everything behind

But even at our swiftest speed,
we couldn't break from the concrete
In the city where we still reside

And I have learned that even
landlocked lovers yearn
For the sea like navy men

'Cause now we say goodnight from
our own separate sides
Like brothers on a hotel bed

G#maj7                      D#
Like brothers on a hotel bed....
G#maj7                      D#
Like brothers on a hotel bed...
G#maj7                      D# A#
Like brothers on a hotel bed...

You may tire of me
as our December sun is setting
'Cause I'm not who I used to be
