                  Gm
I sit around and wonder
                  Cm7
About the fire in your eyes
                      D#maj7
The movement of your fingers
                    Cm7
The way you slowly complicate my life
                         Gm7
From the time we spent together
                          Cm7
Which is what led to our demise
                          D#maj7
And how we never can say never
                        Cm7
But I struggle just to make it through most nights

      Gm7                        Cm7
But please never change, never change girl
     D#maj7                     Cm7
No please never change, never change girl

Chorus:
 Gm          F                 D#      A#
Could it be January 'cause it feels so cold
         Gm
without you here
Dm     D#maj7
Oh you are the sun
 Gm                Dm    D#
Yesterday and everyday seems so plain
A#     Gm          Dm            D#maj7
Now you're not here, my color's gone.

And there's nobody got the eyesight
There's nobody got the time
There's nobody got a conscience
Can no one pull us back from this divide
I don't want to be an island
And I don't want to be confined
So no more days of torture with you preying on
my mind

And I said
Nothing's gonna change, nothing is gonna change
Nothing's gonna change, never going to change
No, no

Chorus

               Gm       Dm
And there's a cold day coming won't
    D#maj7   A#maj7
you keep me warm
           Gm       Dm             D#maj7   A#maj7
There's a cold day coming 'til you come home
           Gm       Dm              D#maj7   A#maj7
There's a cold day coming won't you keep me warm?
           Gm       Dm             D#maj7
There's a cold day coming 'til you come home

Chorus:
Could it be January
'cause it feels so cold without you here
Oh, you are the sun
Yesterday and everyday, oh, it seems so plain
Now you're not here
My colour's gone

Thank you
