              A
I've been to London, Been to Paris,
     B        C#m
Australia and Rome
              A
There's sexy boys in every city
            C#m         B
But they're not what I want
          A
Some got money, Some got fame,
          B              C#m
Some got cars, Some got clothes
           B
But if it just aint you
Then I don't wanna know

          A                        B  C#m
Cuz baby now I realize that I was wrong
  A                             C#m B
When I said I didn't need you, s
A                          B    C#m
Miss you bad so now I'm comin' home
A                        G#m
So you better leave the light on
 B
Wait for me and just leave the light on, heyyy

Chorus:
A                      B       C#m
This feels like a permanent December
A                      B     C#m
So much colder than I can remember
     A
When I get you back
              B           C#m
This time I swear that I won't
            B
Won't ever let you go
Won't let you go, no
               A
Won't let you go go go go
 B            C#
Won't let you go, no
A             B        C#m
Go go go go, no no no no

I've been to New York, been to L.A. and to Baton Rouge
I met a boy in every city, no one kept me amused
But don't call me a Lolita, 'cause I don't let 'em through
'Cause I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone and it's you

'Cause baby, now I realize that I was wrong
When I said I didn't need you so
Miss you bad, so now I'm coming home
So you better leave the light on
Wait for me and just leave the light on

Chorus:
It's been like a permanent December
So much colder than I can remember
When I get you back, this time
I swear that I won't
Won't ever let you go
Won't let you go, no
Won't let you go, go, go, go
Won't let you go, no
Go, go, go, go - no, no, no, no
Won't let you go, go, go, go
Won't let you go, no
Go, go, go, go - no, no, no, no

A
Hey!
 B          C#m
What do you say?
           A
Cuz I been all around the world
         C#m            B
And they just aint the same
A
Hey!
  B          C#m
What do you say?
            A
Without my baby I go crazy
      C#m           B
And I just gotta scream

Now I realize that I was wrong
When I said I didn't need you so
Miss you bad, so now I'm coming home
So you better leave the light on
Wait for me and just leave the light on

Chorus:
It's been like a Permanent December
So much colder than I can remember
When I get you back, this time I swear that I won't
Won't ever let you go
Won't let you go, no, won't let you go
It's been like a Permanent December
So much colder than I can remember
When I get you back, this time I swear that I won't
Won't ever let you go
Won't let you go, no
Won't let you go, go, go, go
Won't let you go, no
Go, go, go, go - no, no, no, no
Won't let you go, go, go, go
Won't let you go, no
Go, go, go, go - no, no, no, no
