C               G
If you’re freezing on your left side
            Am             F
And you’re boiling on your right side
          F            G           C
Then I guess you might be warm upon the line
F              G              Am
There are many ways one can divide a life
              C
And I’ve got mine

Verse 2 (same as verse 1)

I was flying home and I
Saw the sunset from the sky
I saw the dark come spooning down upon the land
And I thought about the distance we all cover
And it made me sad

Chorus

    F                 G   
And as the old year took a bow
   C
And joined the setting sun
F               G
It comes around again
 C
Like a refrain
F                G
And we all sing along
             C
And think of things we should’ve done
F              G                C
Till one year when the new year never came

Verse 3

Little comfort, little comfort
I’m afraid you’re not enough
I’ve had some learning both unwelcome and unkind
And it seems there’s but one story told
And then re-worked all throughout time

Verse 4
Are you a good one or a cruel one
It is just the laws that make us bad
What can we do to measure where we stand
Well I judge myself by what I give to someone else
So I’ll know where I am

Chorus 2 

Don’t let that sense of urgency betray you in the dark
The rustle of a curtain’s not a sign
Don’t frame this picture now
As some kind of closing remark
And most of all stay warm upon the line
Most of all stay warm upon the line
It’s best if you stay warm upon the line
