Bb                 F
You said, "Send me stationary to make me horny"
Dm                            C
So I always write you letters in multicolours
Bb                  F
Decorating envelopes for foreplay
Dm                      C
Damn extended metaphors, I get carried away
Bb               F
On the back of a natural disaster
       Dm                       C
Fixed with parcel tape and with kids sticking plasters
Bb               C
Nothing says, "I miss you" quite like
    F
War poetry you carved in your door with a Stanley knife


[Chorus]
Bb C             F
      My year in lists
Bb                                 C                  F
Stomping on your fingers as you're clinging on to the abyss
          Bb                            C
So put on every winter coat that you've owned since '98
          F                               C
And every midnight sees the countdown to another awful day
  Bb
I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you
  F
I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you
  Bb                                                G
I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you


[Verse 2]
Bb            F
On your request, I compile a list
Dm             C
Of my top five resolutions for this year (One!)
Bb          F
I declined 'cause I decided that I (Two!)
Dm                    C  
Do not believe in the New Year anymore (Three!)
Bb                   F
And you must confess that at times like these
Dm                  C
Hopefulness is tantamount to hopelessness (Four!)
Bb                F
And I accept that it's time for a change
           Dm                    C
But not in places like this with people like these (Five! Five! Five! Five! Five!)


[Chorus]
Bb C             F
      My year in lists
Bb                                 C                  F
Stomping on your fingers as you're clinging on to the abyss
          Bb                            C
So put on every winter coat that you've owned since '98
          F                               C
And every midnight sees the countdown to another awful day
  Bb
I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you
  F
I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you
  Bb                                                G
I cherish with fondness the day (before) I met you
