Capo 4
Verse:
D Dsus4 Dadd9
Girl I don't have a lot of money, you see
D Dsus4 Dadd9
Sure I play a little guitar but I barely sing
D Dsus4 Dadd9
The one thing I wish this Christmas Eve
D Dsus4
Is you'd fall in love with me
D, Dsus4, Dadd9
D Dsus4 Dadd9
Girl I'm no coffee shop poet at all
D Dsus4 Dadd9
I wrote you that note on a napkin and you still haven't called
D Dsus4 Dadd9
So pack up your bangs and I'll grab the keys
D Dsus4 Dadd9
Come run away with me
[Refrão] G
Drive out to old Mexico
Leave the new world
D Dsus4 Dadd9
And love like we're dying
G
If you want snow I'll make snow
D
Block the sun stop the desert from drying
Dsus4 Dadd9
I'll never stop trying
D Dsus4
Maybe when midnight is here
You'll kiss me like you did last year
D Dsus4 Dadd9 (2x)
Verse 2:
D Dsus4 Dadd9
Boy I don't need a lot of money you see
D Dsus4 Dadd9
You know your old beat up guitar is my favorite thing
D Dsus4 Dadd9
About you I want you all your terrible things
D Dsus4 Dadd9
I want you this Christmas Eve
