| C | G | |
| So save | all of your light |
| Am | Em | |
| For those who | can't sleep at night |
| F | C | G | |
| And who can't | even sing | to their | shadows |
| C | G | |
| Oh they ride | into town |
| Am | Em | |
| And they thr | ow the shots down |
| F | C | G | |
| And they save | the last round | for the win | dows |
| F | C | G | F | |
| Singing | don't let me into this | year with an empty hea | rt, with an empty hea | rt |
| F | C | G | |
| Don't let me into this | year with an empty hea | rt |
| I'm inside with my friends |
| We build fires and pretend |
| That the night could just bend on forever |
| While outside in the frost |
| Are the wolves and the lost |
| And we sing to the dogs or whoever |
| Singing don't let me into this year with an empty heart |
| With an empty heart |
| Don't let me into this year with an empty heart |
| There's a friend that I have |
| And for her I'll go back |
| You see all of these empties that I'm holding |
| They're too much for a man |
| Empty arms, empty hands |
| And she'll know me by the sound of my hoping |
| (ending varies from the chorus, as follows) |
| C | Dm7 | F | |
| Don't let me into this year with an empty | heart, with an empty heart |
| C | Dm7 | F | |
| Don't let me into this year with an empty | heart |
| Repeat ending multiple times, and end on C |
