[VERSE 1]
F C G Dm
You walk me through the park where all the dark spots are lit by snow
F C G Dm
You talk me through my part as if you're starring the show
F C G Dm
I hate you 'cause of the way these goddamn snowflakes lick your hair
F C G Dm
I hate you 'cause I need you, 'cause I know that you don't care
F Am G
You remind me I'm no longer young

[VERSE 2]
F C G Dm
It's the 20th of Decem - ber, Santa's looking kind of worn
F C G Dm
The windows shine like em - bers and every year there's more
F C G Dm
I don't think I look much ol - der, but I'm not the one to ask
F C G Dm
Nostalgia's getting bold - er with every day that passes
F Am G G
It reminds me I'm no longer young
[CHORUS]
G/B C G Dm
Back then the streets were paved with light,
F G Am G
As if this town was built by night
C G Dm
And our steps like hyperspace flight,
F G F C
In a universe that was ours by right
[INTERLUDE]

[VERSE 3]
F C G Dm
You look at me through len - ses of ideas that were never mine
F C G Dm
You're shooting 'cross the tren - ches, in the world war of your mind
F C G Dm
You've gone and hit old San - cho between the halo and the eyes
F C G Dm
Bet he didn't see it coming just the tunnel and the light
[VERSE 4]
F C G Dm
So go away and pray baby, come back when you can cry
F C G Dm
It's Christmas time remem - ber, the least you should do is try
F C G Dm
The 90's like the weak link in the chain around my heart
F C G Dm
The peace I've built within it, it's like an island off the charts
[VERSE 5]
F C G Dm
You step in like a tow truck, and tear my world apart,
F C G Dm
Yawning like a house cat playing cruelly with the mouse
F C G Dm
You're shouting cross the tren - ches to steal my peace of mind
F C G Dm
It was you who killed the an - gels, you the greatest lover of all time
[PRE-CHORUS]
F C G Dm
You're just a petty thief now, in the universe of small crime
F Am G G
You remind me I'm no longer young
[CHORUS]
G/B C G Dm
Back then the streets were paved with light,
F G Am G
As if this town was built by night
C G Dm
And our steps like hyperspace flight,
F G F C
In a universe that was ours by right
