[Verse 1]
C C/G Am
December of '04, we got a Yuletide show
C C/E F
The miracle of manna, an inch of snow
G
It didn't melt all day
Am
We used a trash can for a sleigh
F C
And we still talk about it
C C/G Am
Here at decades older, I am less impressed
C C/E F
Seems the blessing only comes with bitterness
G Am F
Bi-annually, at least, the pipes and asphalt will freeze
F C
And we'll still talk about it
[Pre-chorus]
C
If I wish for anything this year
F C
It would be a bigger house
Dm Am
With walls spaced far enough apart
Dm Am
To keep my loved ones out the dark
C C/E F Em
When the power grid goes out
[Chorus]
Em Am
'Cause I keep you in my heart
Em F
Yeah, I keep you even when we are apart
Em G F
And I'd keep you out of the dark
C
If I only could
[Verse 2]
C C/G Am
All that you believe in can survive this one
C C/E F
A fairy only keeps her wings if you cheer them on
G
Well, it's hard to find a star
Am Dm
In all this godforsaken dark
F C
So I'll believe in you
C C/G Am
Sure, the days are colder and the nights are long
C C/E F
But don't you worry, I don't think the magic's gone
G
We could light a fire
Am Dm
We could lift our voices higher
F C
We can believe in you
[Pre-chorus]
C
If I wish for anything this year
F C
It would be a crystal ball
Dm Am
Or the winning numbers on the wall
Dm Am
Wouldn't want a dime or dollar
G F Em
Only power to change anything at all
[Chorus]
Em F2
'Cause I keep you in my heart
C/E F
I keep you even when we are apart
C G F
I'd keep you out of the dark
Em
If I only could
Em F2
Yeah, I keep you in my heart
C/E F2
I keep you even when we're worlds apart
C G F2/D
I will keep you out of the dark
