Grown-Up Christmas List

Do (F)you (C)remember (Dm)me?

I sat (Am7)upon your knee.

(Bb)I wrote to (F)you with (Gm7)childhood (Csus)fantasies.

(C)Well, (F)I'm all (C)grown up (Dm)now,

and still need (Am)help somehow.

(Bb)I'm not a (F)child, but (Gm7)my heart still can (Csus)dream.

(C)So (F)here's my (C)lifelong (Dm)wish, my grownup (Am)Christmas list,

(Bb)not for (F)myself, but (Gm7)for a world in (C)need.

(D)No more (Bm7)lives torn (G)apart, and (Em9)wars would never (F#m7)start,

and (Bm)time would heal all (A7)hearts.

(D)And (F#m7)ev'ryone would (Bm)have a (G)friend,

and (Em)right would always (F#m7)win, and (Bm)love would never (C#7)end.

(F#m7)This (Bm)is my (Em7)grownup (A)Christmas (D)list.

(A)As (F)children (C)we (Dm)believed the grandest (Am)sight to see (Bb)was something (F)lovely (Gm7)wrapped beneath our (Csus)tree.

(C)Well, (F)heaven (C)surely (Dm)knows that (Am)packages and bows (Bb)can never (F)heal a (Gm7)hurting human (C)soul.

(D)No more (Bm7)lives torn (G)apart, and (Em9)wars would never (F#m7)start,

and (Bm)time would heal all (A7)hearts.

(D)And (F#m7)ev'ryone would (Bm)have a (G)friend,

and (Em)right would always (F#m7)win, and (Bm)love would never (C#7)end.

(F#m7)This (Bm)is my (Em7)grownup (A)Christmas (D)list.

(A)As (D)list.

(D7sus)What is this illusion called?

(G)The innocence of youth.

Maybe (Bm7)only in our blind belief (C#)can we ever find the truth.

(Eb)No more (Gm7)lives (Cm)torn (Abmaj7)apart.

and (Fm7)wars would never (Gm7)start, and (Cm7)time would heal all (Ab)hearts.

(Eb)And (Gm7)ev'ryone would (Cm)have a (Ab)friend,

and (Fm7)right would always (Gm7)win, and (Cm7)love would never (D7)end,

oh, (Bb7sus)this is my grownup Christmas (Gm7)list.

(Cm7)This is my (Am7)only (Ab)lifelong (Gm7)wish.

(Cm7)This is my (Fm7)grownup Christmas (Bb7)(Eb)list.
