Intro: Play riff 2x Verse 1: C It's Christmas so we'll stop Em F It's on with the lights to warm the dark, it can cloak elsewhere Am F C As the rot stops for today, let the rot stop just for one day Em F Only good red eyes, red suits, and faces will radiate Am F C And the cold will hide its face, now the cold is turned away Em We can be best friends with the people we hate F Am F 'Cause we've all got blood, and it's warmer than you think C Yeah it is warm and it is thick Em F We all breathe out clouds we're built to give at least once each year Am F Now that's better than never I guess C And life might never get better than this Em F With the perfect excuse for out natures to change and wear shiny clothes Am F Oh it's Christmas so press pause and we'll go Interlude 1: Play riff 2x (with some ooh’ing and ahh’ing) Verse 2: (same structure as Verse 1) Oh it's Christmas so we'll stop 'Cause the wine on our breath puts the love in our tongues So forget the names I called you on Christmas Eve In fact forget the entire year Don't reflect just pretend and you won't feel scared You won't feel a thing 'cause it's all been tucked away And once you're tucked in bed You'll hold on to the day for the last few seconds Your gray dull face is protected from the wind And I'll protect you I promise I will And the rest of our lives will be just like Christmas with fewer toys You're a good girl I'm a good boy, so I thought Interlude 2: same as Interlude 1 Verse 3: (same structure as Verse 1) Oh it's Christmas so we stopped Were it not for the tick of the clock And the spinning of the Earth in space We could always be this way And as we sleep at the fall of the day In the room next door the tree lights brighten the rodents' eyes And catches a glimpse of the dust beginning to rise Outro: (repeat 2x) C Em F Am F C The next day life went back to its past self Em F Am F C The next day life went back to its past self
