Cmaj7 Am7
It's the top of the hour
D7sus2 G
Snow covered tower
Cmaj7 Am7 D7sus2 G
I'm countin' the bells in the dark
Cmaj7 Am7
There's a light on your porch
D7sus2 G
Should I carry this torch

Could brighten that point pleasant park
[Interlude]

Cmaj7 Amaj7 D7sus2 G
But maybe changed her mind
Cmaj7 Am7 D7sus2 G
Are you spendin' that winter abroad
Cmaj7 Am7
On a last minute jet
D7sus2 G
Compare that etiquette
Cmaj7 Am7 D7sus2 G
To a snowball thrown by the gods
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 D7sus2
Coulda swore I saw your mother
Fmaj7
I should've asked her
Fmaj7
If you were still alive

Coulda swore I saw your sweater
