  			D                           A 
In December drinking horchata 
G                               A 
I'd look psychotic in a balaclava 
G                                A 
Winter's cold is too much to handle 
G                                  A 
Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals 

D             C9

In December drinking horchata

Look down your glasses at that aranciata 
G                                      A 
With lips and teeth to ask how my day went

Boots and fists to pound on the pavement

Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on

You'd still enjoy it with your foot on masada

G                               A 
I'd look psychotic in a balaclava

Years go by and hearts start to harden 
G                                        A 
Those palms and firs that grew in your garden 
G                                        A 
Are falling down and nearing the rose beds 
G                                        A 
The roots are shooting up through the tool shed 
G                                        A 
Those lips and teeth that asked how my day went

Are shouting up through cracks in the pavement

Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten

Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on

Oh you had it but oh no you lost it 
G                                        A 
You understood so you shouldn't have fought it

Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten

Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
