I made some notes at the end regarding the instrumental interlude.
Suggestions welcome. I don't know what anyone is singing at the end.
D C
You went looking for shelter...in all the wrong spaces
G A
You grew gluttonous and famous...with faces
G F#m
Nameless and blank, superstitiously you name them
Em F#m
St. Christopher and Johanna, St. Christopher and Johanna
G A
St. Christopher and Johanna
D
Overcome with the holiday spirit
C
Mark says the herald angels won't hear it
G
And remember, the wolves that you run with are wolves
A
Don't forget
G F#m
They exist to give you something to regret, I'll be there too
Em
with something sadder than that brass portrait
F#m
which shines through your morning, dim.

It's your turn to go down now...in the spirit of giving
D Dmaj7 D7 A7* x3 (*see below)

G D A
Cloud prayer Mary, come ah----on? etc

meant to be a glimpse of where the repeat it going.
