[Intro]
G Bm Em D C
[Verse 1]
G
Light us up until we pop
Bm
I wanna burn bright 'til we're not
Em D C
Let's keep each other safe from the world
G
I'll be your optimistic black hole
Bm
Full of love I can't control
Em D C
Let's keep each other safe from the world
Bm
From the world
[Chorus]
C G
Happy birthday, Merry Christmas
D Em
To the one I call my Mrs
C G D
I'm leaving you love notes in the kitchen, say it all
C G
I know you said to mind my business
D Em
But Cupid sent me on a mission
C G D
It's got me sitting, wishing, waiting for your call
C Em G
Let's be lucky people, you and me
[Instrumental]
G Bm Em D C
[Verse 2]
G
My hourglass is in your hands
Bm
You've got my time, you are my plans
Em D C
Let's keep each other safe from the world
G
You've got me writing sappy songs
Bm
I used to laugh all on my own
Em D C
Let's keep each other safe from the world
[Pre-Chorus]
G Bm
Because I know it's hard to let yourself be fine
Em D
But I'll carry around our worried flurried minds
C
But I'll let go if you do too
[Chorus]
C G
Happy birthday, Merry Christmas
D Em
To the one I call my Mrs
C G D
I'm leaving you love notes in the kitchen, say it all
C G
I know you said to mind my business
D Em
But Cupid sent me on a mission
C G D
It's got me sitting, wishing, waiting for your call
C Em G
Let's be lucky people, you and me
G Bm Em D C
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Bridge]
G
My common sense is powerless
Bm
And I'm convinced that you
Em D
Caught me lucky, it's just the half of it
C
The better half of me that I couldn't quit
G
'Cause now I'm flying across the country
Bm
More than monthly for you
Em D
You've got me more than clumsy
C
But you're my yellow lovely
[Outro] (softly)
C G D Em (x2)

Happy birthday, Merry Christmas

I'm leaving you love notes in the kitchen and saying it all

I know you said to mind my business
D Em
But Cupid sent me on a mission

It's got me sitting, wishing, waiting for your call
