[Verse 1]
       A
As you promised me that
I was more than all
 the miles combined
              E
You must have had yourself
a change of heart like
 halfway through the drive
            F#m
'Cause your voice trailed
off exactly as you passed
 my exit sign
D
Kept on driving straight
and left our future
to the right

[Verse 2]
         A
Now I am stuck between
my anger and the blame
that I can't face
         E
And memories are something
 even smoking weed
does not replace
         F#m
And I am terrified of
 weather 'cause I see
 you when it rains
D
Doc told me to travel
 but there's COVID
on the planes
[Chorus]
     A
And I love Vermont but
 it's the season of
                   E
 the sticks and I

Saw your mom she forgot
 that I existed
        F#m*
And It's half my fault
 but I just like to
 play the victim
          D*
I'll drink alcohol
'till my friends come
 home for Christmas
        A
And I'll dream each
night of some version of you
      E
That I might not have
 but I did not lose
         F#m
Now you're tire tracks
and one pair of shoes
       D
And I'm split in half
            E
 but that'll have to
            A
 do ooh ooh

[Verse 3]
     A
So I thought that if
I piled something
 good on all my bad
             E
That I could cancel out
the darkness I
inherited from dad
       F#m
No I am no longer funny
'cause I miss the
 way you laugh
D
Once called me forever
 now you still can't
 call me back

And I love Vermont but
 it's the season of
                  E

Saw your mom she forgot

[Bridge]
A                     E
Oh, that'll have to do
                  F#m
My other half was you

I hope this pain's just
 D
 passing through
      E
But I doubt it

[Chorus]
     A
And I love Vermont but
it's the season of the
               E
 sticks and I

Saw your mom she forgot
that I existed
        F#m*
And It's half my fault
 but I just like to
 play the victim

I'll drink alcohol
'till my friends come
 home for Christmas
        A
And I'll dream each night

      E
That I might not have but
I did not lose
         F#m
Now you're tire tracks

       D
And I'm split in half
            E
but that'll have to do
Have to do ooh
