[Verse 1]
G
January's not the time
          Am
to make changes
                              Em
The dark days will make you look
          G
at your life
G
I'm going back to Cry Help
          Am
to meet strangers
           Em        G
A history a family a wife
G                Em
Everyone around here they
             Am
seem to know me
                          Em
Like the gravestone that remembers
     G
my past
I'm going back to Cry Help
               Am
and you can show me
              Em        G
A history, a family, at last
   Am          Em       G
A history, a family, at last.

[Chorus]
C                 G
Everyone in this town got
    D           Am
a reason to be down
          G    D     C
And it's all down to me
                              G
Don't you put yourself in my shoes
          D              Am
when I'm walking off my dues
           G     D     C
Cause it's all down to me
G      D      Em

[Verse 2]
G
Summer seemed a good
             Am
time to go roaming
                        Em
And the road didn't look like
   G
a trap
      G
But I never found a fit
              Am
state to go home in
              Em
And my home disappeared
         G
off the map
Em  G
I tell you wintertime's
                 Am
not the time to remember
                          Em
The dark nights shading everything
  G
blue
G
I'm going back to
                 Am
Cry Help to my December
                 Em        G
To morning, to memory, to you
    Am           Em        G      D
To morning, to memory, to you
