Chords for Blues Traveler "Christmas"

Comes the time [F] for Christmas [G] and I really [Am] have to ask
[Em] If this is [Dm] feeling merry
[G] How much longer [C] must it last?
I wish you one more [F] soap and slay
[G] Would come carry [Am] me away, but I've been waiting [Dm] here all day
[G] And one just hasn't [C] come my way
Now excuse me [F] if I'm not being reverent
But [G] I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me, [Am] save me from [Dm] a righteous doubt
As [G] I watch helpless [C] and everybody sings
If it's Hanukkah [F] or Kwanzaa
[G] Solstice, Harvest, or December 25th
[Am] Peace on [Dm] earth to everyone [G] and abundance [C] to everyone

[Eb] _ [C] Comes the [F] time for Christmas, [G] and as you raise a [Am] yuletide's flask
There's like this feeling [Dm] that you carry, [G] as if from every [C] Christmas past
It's as if each [F] year it grows
[G] It's like to feel it in your toes and on [Am] and on your [Dm] carol goes
Harvesting love [C] among your woes
I wanna buy into [F] love and adelant
[G] And I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, watch [Am] me, make me know
What [Dm] it's [G] about is the longing in [C] me makes me wanna sing
_ [F] Another [G] season celebration or [Am] just the end of the year
Christmas can [Dm] mean [G] anything
And I mean to keep [C] this hope warm indeed
_ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
[Am] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
[Bb] As _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] if a cold and frozen [G] soul was born [Am] to love
I [C] love to hold his hand
[Am] So goes the prayer before [G] a day he's on [F] and good [G] will to men
At [C] twenty below the winter [F] storm it billows
[G] But the fire is so [C] warm inside
[Am] And the children while [Dm] nestled in their pillows
[G] Dream of St.
Nicholas' [C] ride
And how the next day they'll [F] get up and they will play
[G] In the still falling Christmas [C] snow
[Am] And together we'll [Dm] celebrate forever
[G] In defiance of the winds that blow
[C] My God in heaven, now [F] I feel like I'm seven
[G] And the spirit calls to [C] me as well
[Am] As if Christmas had [Dm] made the winter warmer
[G] Made a paradise from [C] what was hell
[Am] As if a cold and [G] frozen soul is born [Am] to love
I [C] love to hold his hand
[Am] So goes the prayer before [G] a day he's on [F] earth and good [G] will to men
[C] Many problems of times for [G] Christmas
And I cannot [C] stand to look [G] inside
And the children while [Dm] nestled in their pillows
[G] Dream of St.
Nicholas' [C] ride
I wish you one last [F] time and say
[G] What can be better in [C] the way
[Am] That I've been away from you [Dm] all day
[G] And one just hasn't come [C] my way
I was keeping a [F] shining Christmas
[G] But I was hoping that [C] you would still
[Am] Watch me next evening
[Dm] As [G] I watch the whole [C] world survive their great day
Oh, I'm a [F] dying father
[G] And I can say this [C] much for the seven [A] children
If he's [Dm] not a born one [G] and the father's [C] too old
No, [F] I'll _ [G] sing [C] the songs of [G] sin
And the [Dm] words you knew [G] at that newborn [C] _
gate
But you'll be [F] in so much [G] pain
Because I [C] feel like [Am] there's no [Dm] one [G] there
To the breast [C] of my own _ [F] heart
_ [G] But if [C] they'll say [Am] glory [Dm] to [G] a father no [C] one knows
Oh, he [F] has some [G] help as best he [C] might
[A] _ [Dm] I'm still [G] on the brink [C] of my sight
I wish a one-horse [F] open sleigh
[G] Would come carry me away
And I'll keep waiting [Gb] through [Dm] next May
Until Christmas [C] comes my way
