[Verse 1]
A B7 E
Well mama, here I am again, on the run
A B7 E
Surrounded, a sea of headlights, and smoking guns
A B7 E C#m
And to tell you the truth, all I can think of is you
F# B B7
Rearranging, little paper angels, upon the tree
[PRE CHORUS 1]
A B E
While the new dog has replaced me in all the photographs
A B E
How dad says he hardly knows me anymore
A B E C#m
What do you think of me now? Signs posted all over town
F#7 B7 B
two grand cash, top of the line mower to the first one to track me down
[Chorus]
A B7 E
'Cause it's been a long, long lonely winter
A B7 E
and it's been a cold, hard livin', couple years
A B7 E
and it kills me to say, they're gonna lock me away
A#m A B7 E
it don't look like I'll be home by Christmas day
[Verse 2]
A B7 E
Think of, sweetheart, all the things we did, to get by
A B7 E
Sneaking into big old houses, with a hundred rooms to spend the night
A B E C#m
Yeah, when nothing is all you come from, sure don't take much to start to dream
F#m F#7 B
Now that the whole world shines before you, let me tell you honey, there aint nothin'
thats what it seems
[PRE CHORUS]
A B E
'Cause that old roof ain't high enough to call a ceiling
A B E
and I never liked that smug-ass chandelier
A B E C#m
there's been a whole lot of talk, its kinda pissing me off
F# F#7 B B7
No, it ain't like i's not trying to tell ya, I'm taking my sweet time is all
[Chorus]
A B E
Cause it's been a long, lame, December
A B E
It's been a dry, slim-pickins, a couple years
A B E F#m
And though it kills me to say, go on and have it your way
A B E C#m
'Cause it don't look like I'll be home by Christmas Day
A B E
No, it don't look like I'll be home by Christmas Day
