xMaybe Baby (New Year's Day)
Tabbed by Jessica Kuligowski
This is my first tab, because I couldn't find one anywhere. It sounds right to me
but I don't guarantee 100% accuracy.
I use DDUDUD for the strum pattern in the verses and chorus, strum and let ring on the bridge.
Tuning: Standard
Capo: None
Intro: G Em Bm D
G
Every Christmas I come back to this town
Em
I come looking through some lost and found
Bm D
Wondering if you're still hanging around down here
G
With the holiday lights they line these streets
Em
Where I once loved you and you once loved me
Bm D
I'm sorry, it just gets to me
G Em
I wonder if I called up your house
Bm D
If your mama would let you out?
CHORUS
G Em
Maybe, baby
Bm D
I'll see you this Christmas, what do you say
G Em
Or maybe, baby
G Em Bm D
I'll see you on New Year's Day
I remember your eyes with the snow outside
You said, "This place always looked a little better in white."
I wanna look up and see your face one more time
Feels like the clock stopped ticking the day that I left
I think of you and I still catch my breath
I'm sorry, you still get to me
I wonder if you'll be going out
There's only one party in this town
Maybe, baby
I'll see you this Christmas
I hope and pray
Or maybe, baby
I'll see you on New Year's Day
BRIDGE
Bm
Baby, it's so strange being back here again
Em
I keep running into all of our old friends
G
This whole town ringing in one more year
D
I don't wanna let this feeling disappear
Bm
I pray that you might be here tonight
Em
And there you were standing, shining underneath that light
G
Screaming at the ball on TV, counting down
D
Streamers and papers piling up on the ground
G Em
Baby, did you come here alone?
Bm D
Are you maybe looking for someone?
G
To kiss you?
D
God, I've missed you
Maybe, baby, we didn't get Christmas
But if you stay
Or maybe, baby
We could have New Year's Day
Outtro: G Em Bm D
