[Verse 1]

Well, I picked out a tree
E
And I tied it to the car

There's a wreath up on our door

Eight tiny reindeer in the yard

I drove under the downtown lights

Red an' green and blue

The silver neon snowflakes

Only made me think of you

I hear someone singing "Jingle Bells"

No wait, that's "Deck the Halls"

And the teenagers with candy canes
A
Ramble through the malls
E
The girls are down at Ruby's
E
Trying to find some Christmas cheer
A
There's not much to do but drink too much
A
When every day is unclear

So here I am on Christmas Eve

This silent holy night

And I reach up to the stars for you

I pray that you're alright
