Grown-up Christmas List

Do (Bb)you remember (Gm)me?

I sat upon your knee.

I (Eb)wrote to (Bb)you with childhood (F7sus)fantasies.

(F7)Well, (Bb)I'm all grown up (Gm)now,

and still need (Dm7)help (Eb)somehow.

I'm not a child but (Cm7)my heart still can (Fsus)dream.

(F)So (Bb)here's my (F)lifelong (Gm)wish,

my grownup (Dm7)Christmas (Eb)list,

not for myself, but (Cm7)for a world in need.

(G)No more (Bm7)lives (Em)torn apart,

(C)and (Am9)wars would never start, and (Em)time would heal all (Csus2)hearts.

(G)And (Bm7)ev'ryone would have a friend,

(C)and (Am7)right would always (Bm7)win,

and (Em7)love would never (C#m7)end.

(Bm7)This (Em)is my grown up (D9)Christmas (G)list.

(D)As (Bb)children we (Gm)believed the grandest (Dm7)sight to (Eb)see was something lovely (Cm7)wrapped beneath our (Fsus)tree.

(F)Well, (Bb)heaven (F)surely (Gm)knows that (Dm7)packages and (Eb)bows can never heal a (Cm7)hurting human soul.

(G)No more (Bm7)lives (Em)torn apart, (C)and (Am9)wars would never start,

and (Em)time would heal all (Csus2)hearts.

(G)And (Bm7)ev'ryone would have a friend,

(C)and (Am7)right would always (Bm7)win, and (Em7)love would never (C#m7)end.

(Bm7)This (Em)is my grown up (D9)Christmas (G)list.

(D)As (G)list.

(G7sus)What is this illusion called?

(Dm)The innocence of youth.

Maybe (Em7)only in our blind belief (D)can we ever find the (F#sus)truth.

(Ab)No more (Cm7)lives (Fm)torn apart, and (Bbm7)wars would never (Cm7)start,

and (Fm7)time would heal all (Db)hearts.

(Ab)And (Cm7)ev'ryone would have a friend,

(Db)and (Bbm7)right would always (Cm7)win, and (Fm7)love would never (Dm7)end,

(Db9)oh. (Cm7)This is my grownup (Eb7sus)Christmas (Cm7)list.

(Fm7)This is my (Dm7)only (Db9)lifelong (Cm7)wish.

(Fm7)This is my (Bbm7)grownup (Eb7)Christmas (Ab)list.
