Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
In  December, drinking  horchata
I'd  look psychotic  in a balaclava
Winter's  cold is too  much to handle
Pincher  crabs that pinch  at your sandals
 (Same as VERSE I)
 In December, drinking horchata
 Look down your glasses at that aranciata
 With lips and teeth to ask how my day went
 Boots and fists to pound on the pavement
Here  comes a feeling you thought  you'd forgotten
Chairs  to sit and sidewalks  to walk  on
 (Same as first two lines of the first verse)
 You'd remember drinking horchata
 You'd still enjoy it with your foot on masada
 (Same as last two lines of the first verse)
 Winter's cold is too much to handle
 Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals
 Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
 Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
 Oh you had it but oh no you lost it
 Looking back you shouldn't have fought it
 (Same as first two lines of the first verse)
 In December, drinking horchata
 I'd look psychotic in a balaclava
 (Repeat  for this whole part)
 But winter's cold is too much to handle
 Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals
 Years go by and hearts start to harden
 Those palms and firs that grew in your garden
 Are falling down and nearing the rosebeds
 The roots are shooting up through the tool shed
 Those lips and teeth that asked how my day went
 Are shouting up through cracks in the pavement
 Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
 Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
 Oh you had it but oh no you lost it
 You understood so you shouldn't have fought it.
