"Merry Christmas (I Love You)"
- Hawksley Workman
(Almost A Full Moon)
G D
if God takes you he leaves
C G
each footprint of love
C G
and kindness behind
Am D
which is where you once stood
G D
and i know you're afraid
C G
to get on the plane
C G
after what happened that day
C G Am D
and selfishly i want you here in my way
G D
but animals come
C G
and animals go
C G
but love is just a laundry line
Am D
we hang on unto
G D
we're dried out by the sun
C G
and when you think your turn is done
C G
you end up getting dirty
Am D
and its all again begun
G D C G C G Am D
G D
now words i think are just
C G
a noisy dirty wind
C G
makes the trouble we get in
Am D
so why do we speak?
G D
now we made another war
C G
that's what men are good for
C G
men with stupid insecurities
Am D
not a lot more
G D
and satisfied they try
C G
it's written about a gun
C G
but who the hell reads history?
Am D
apparently not men
G D C G C G Am D
G D
cause nothing's guaranteed
C G
except the politics of need
C G
did the Romans see the ship go down
Am D
were they asleep?
G D
I shouldn't expect to live
C G
And I shouldn't expect to die
C G
But I wouldnt mind being beside you, dear
Am D
On that laundry line to dry
G D
And for my grandma and brother
C G
My father and my mother
C G
And you my sweetest lover
Am D
To you all I will say
G D
Merry Christmas I love you
C G
And God is above you
C G
Merry christmas I love you
C G
And God is above you
C G
Merry christmas I love you
