Tom: G
[Intro] E A F#m
E F#m
If it were me, I'd write another song
G#m A
Something in a major key
F#m A E
You and I will always be "the dream"
E F#m
It was a scream when we were young and dumb
G#m A
Acid on Topanga Beach
F#m A E
In my mind we'll always be that free
Am E
But something changed along the way
Am B
Winter never turned to Spring
E
It's Christmas Eve, you set the house on fire
A
It's snowing on palm trees
Am
The river has run dry
E
So let me set you free
A
Let me help you please
Am E
Say goodbye on Christmas Eve
E F#m
All the lights are on, but no one's home
G#m A
Out cold on my frozen feet
F#m A E
With nothing lying underneath the tree
E F#m
The only soul I knew to telephone
G#m A
Knows I'm lying through my teeth
F#m A E
We were always thick as thieves, you and me
Am E
But something changed along the way
Am B
Winter never turned to Spring
E
It's Christmas Eve, you set the house on fire
A
It's snowing on palm trees
Am
If you stay, you're gonna die
E
So let me help you please
A
Let me help you leave
Am E
Say goodbye on Christmas Eve
A
But there's no bandage
B
There ain't no ballad
E
To fix the sadness
C#m
So happy Christmas
F#m
Back on the bad list
B
I don't want no gifts
E
Just a first kiss
C#m
For the new year
E
Just a first kiss
C#m
To face the new year
( E C#m E )
E F#m
If it were me, I'd write another song
A Am
Say goodbye
