It was Christmas Eve, babe, [C#] in [D] the drunk tank, [A] and old Matt said to me,
[E] I wanna see another one, and [A] then he sang a song.
[E] The rear-row [A] mountain [D] Dewey, [A] I turned my face away, [E] and dreamed [A] about you.
Caught on a lucky one, came [D] in a tenterhood.
I've got a [A] feeling, this [E] year's for me and you.
[B] So, [A] happy [B] Christmas.
I [D] love you, baby, I can't [A] see a better time, [B] when all our dreams [A] come true.
They've got cars, big as bars, they've [D] got rivers, [A] and the wind goes right through you.
There's no place for the old, when you first took my hand on that cold Christmas Eve.
You promised me, [E] Broadway was waiting for me.
You were handsome, you were pretty, sweet love, New York City, when the band finished playing.
All the alcohol was [A] sin, nachos were swinging, [E] all the drunks, they were singing.
We kissed in the cold, through [D] the night, for the boys of the NYPD [A] choir were singing.
[F#m] Broadway, [A] babe, and the bells [E] were ringing out [A] for Christmas Day.

When I first found you, [A] I had some, some fun.
I [D] built them with my own, [A] hey I make it all alone
I [B] built my dreams [E] around you
