Song Title: All I Really Want

Intro:
D  Dmaj7   G    D  Dmaj7   G


Verse One:
D             D/F#          G/B          D
Well, I don't know if you remember me or not
G              D/F#                 Em
I'm one of the kids they brought in from the home
D         D/F#                 G/B               D
I was the red-haired boy in an old green flannel shirt
G                D/F#           Bm
You may not have seen me, I was standing off alone
C2                D                         G
I didn't come and talk to you 'cause that's never worked before
           C2             D               G
And you'll probably never see this letter anyway
    C2                   D                 G             D/F#
But just in case there's something you can do to help me out
             Em
I'll ask you one more time


Chorus:

      Bm     A        G            D                  Asus4
All I really want for Christmas is someone to tuck me in
              Bm     A    G                  D            Asus4
A shoulder to cry on if I lose, shoulders to ride on if I win
        Bm      A       G                   D                Asus4
There's so much I could ask for but there's just one thing I need
      A               G              D       Dmaj7   G    D Dmaj7   G
All I really want for Christmas is a family

Verse Two:
Well, I guess I should go ahead and tell you now
If it's really true about that list you have
Somehow I always seem to end up in a fight
But I'm really trying hard not to be bad
Well maybe if I had a brother or a dad to wrestle with
Or maybe they could teach me how to get along
And from everything I've heard, it sounds like the greatest gift on earth
Would be a mom

Chorus Two:
All I really want for Christmas is someone to tuck me in
A shoulder to cry on if I lose, shoulders to ride on if I win
There's so much I could ask for but there's just one thing I need
      A               G            A                 G
All I really want for Christmas is someone who'll be here
   A             Bm               A                Bm
To sing me Happy Birthday for the next one hundred years
         A                     G
And it's okay if they're not perfect
      D/F#                             Em                       G
Well, even if they're a little broken, that's all right, 'cause so am I


Verse Three:
D            D/F#               G/B             D
Well, I guess I should go, it's almost time for bed
G         D/F#                   Em
And maybe next time I write you,       I'll be at home

Chorus Three:
'Cause all I really want for Christmas is someone to tuck me in
Tell me I'll never be alone, someone whose love will never end
Of all that I could ask for, well, there's just one thing I need
      A               G            A    G
All I really want for Christmas
      A               G            A    G
All I really want for Christmas
     D        Dmaj7   G    D  Dmaj7   G
Is a family
       D        Dmaj7   G
Just a family
                    D      Dmaj7   G
That's all I really need
