All I can give is this Christmas song to you
C/B Am
I just hope that you'll sing it

whenever your heart skips a beat

while you're thinking of me

and if the greetings this season will bring
C/B Am
leave you searching for meaning
F
you will look to the words I have written
G
and you'll be set free
Am F C
you have to know that I can't let you down
Am F C
it's you and me versus the rest of this town

to put a bow on some sounds
that's all I can give you this Christmas

and I know that to you it's just jewelry and shoes

that have managed to keep me in place
