    G         D
if God takes you he leaves
      C            G
each footprint of love
      C          G
and kindness behind
          Am              D
which is where you once stood

        G           D
and i know you're afraid
   C            G
to get on the plane
             C            G
after what happened that day
      C           G       Am        D
and selfishly i want you here in my way

    G        D
but animals come
    C       G
and animals go
      C            G
but love is just a laundry line
    Am      D
we hang on unto

      G                 D
we're dried out by the sun
                C                G
and when you think your turn is done
      C            G
you end up getting dirty
         Am        D
and its all again begun

G D C G C G Am D

    G                   D
now words i think are just
   C           G
a noisy dirty wind
             C           G
makes the trouble we get in
     Am      D
so why do we speak?


     G               D
now we made another war
            C           G
that's what men are good for
          C           G
men with stupid insecurities
Am        D
not a lot more

    G              D
and satisfied they try
      C           G
it's written about a gun
     C                   G
but who the hell reads history?
 Am             D
apparently not men

G D C G C G Am D

    G                   D
cause nothing's guaranteed
             C           G
except the politics of need
          C              G
did the Romans see the ship go down
Am           D
were they asleep?

    G                   D
I shouldn't expect to live
        C                 G
And I shouldn't expect to die
        C                  G
But I wouldnt mind being beside you, dear
         Am              D
On that laundry line to dry

           G            D
And for my grandma and brother
     C             G
My father and my mother
     C               G
And you my sweetest lover
    Am             D
To you all I will say

      G             D
Merry Christmas I love you
      C            G
And God is above you
     C             G
Merry christmas I love you
     C             G
And God is above you
     C             G
Merry christmas I love you
