GD
if God takes you he leaves
CG
each footprint of love
CG
and kindness behind
AmD
which is where you once stood
GD
and i know you're afraid
CG
to get on the plane
CG
after what happened that day
CGAmD
and selfishly i want you here in my way
GD
but animals come
CG
and animals go
CG
but love is just a laundry line
AmD
we hang on unto
GD
we're dried out by the sun
CG
and when you think your turn is done
CG
you end up getting dirty
AmD
and its all again begun
GDCGCGADGD
now words i think are just
CG
a noisy dirty wind
CG
makes the trouble we get in
AmD
so why do we speak?
GD
now we made another war
CG
that's what men are good for
CG
men with stupid insecurities
AmD
not a lot more
GD
and satisfied they try
CG
it's written about a gun
CG
but who the hell reads history?
AmD
apparently not men
GDCGCGADGD
cause nothing's guaranteed
CG
except the politics of need
CG
did the Romans see the ship go down
AmD
were they asleep?
GD
I shouldn't expect to live
CG
And I shouldn't expect to die
CG
But I wouldnt mind being beside you, dear
AmD
On that laundry line to dry
GD
And for my grandma and brother
CG
My father and my mother
CG
And you my sweetest lover
AmD
To you all I will say
GD
Merry Christmas I love you
CG
And God is above you
CG
Merry christmas I love you
CG
And God is above you
CG
Merry christmas I love you
