INTRO RIFF BASED ON C5 and F5

C5                              F5
So what if it's freezing, I'm awake and I'm happy
               C5           G5       F5
The sun's steepling its shards on my floor
C5                                   G5
I drag my feet to the shower and I hear someone singing
             C5                          F5             C5
I keep the lights off a while and the water gets warm
 

          C5                     F5
Now I knot up my tie and toss books in a schoolbag
        C5        G5          F5
They keep my priorities straight
              C5                           G5
So I can sleepwalk through work like an outpatient program
C5                       F5          C5
I don't buy but get through anyway


           C5                          F5
And at some point I'll call you and tell you I miss you
C5               G5              F5
And you are the point of my day
        C5                             G5
And my face will get flushed and my throat will choke up
          C5                F5         C5
When you tell me that you feel the same


    F5                        C5
So I have been thinking of splitting up Christmas
        A5         G5           F5 
To see everyone I'd like to see
F5
And you're first on that list
           D5
You're the lotto I hit
C5                       G5               C5
You're the star at the top of the tree

SOLO!!!!


F5                             C5
And I have been feeling this good for a reason
      A5       G5     F5
My friends and my family
F5
You all are my backbone
       D5 
You keep me balanced and settled
    C5              G5                  C5
And I'm in debt to you all endlessly


C5                               F5
So tonight I will call you and try to say
               C5          G5         F5
Thank you for being the sun on my face
                C5                     F5
I know the world's almost over but you make it seem better
        C5          G5            C5
And I hope for you I do the same
