G5     D5  E5          D5        C5 
Do you remember me, I sat upon your knee 
   C5       G5       A5       A5    D5 
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies  
       G5      D5     E5                  D5        C5 
Well, I'm all grown-up now and still need help somehow 
     C5     G5      A5       A5        D5 
I'm not a child but my heart still can dream  
 

    G5        D5     E5                  D5        C5 
So here's my lifelong wish, my grown-up Christmas list 
     C5     G5     A5      A5    D5 
Not for myself but for a world in need   
E5        C#5         A5 
No more lives torn apart  
      B5                G#5 
That wars would never start  
    C#5                   A5     B5 
And time would heal all hearts 
E5        C#5               A5 
And everyone would have a friend 
     B5                 G#5 
And right would always win  
     C#5       C#5  C#5  Eb5         
And love would never e----nd 
G#5 C#5    A5        B5         E5   E5 E5 
This is my grown-up Christmas list  
C#5  A5  B5   
 
    G5       D5  E5                  D5        C5 
As children we believed the grandest sight to see 
     C5        G5     A5       A5        D5 
Was something lovely wrapped beneath our tree 
      G5     D5   E5               D5       C5 
Well Heaven surely knows that packages and bows  
     C5     G5    A5      A5   D5 
Can never heal a hurting human soul 
 
CHORUS 
 

E5                             A5 
What is this illusion called the innocence of youth  
      C#5          F#5                B5              C5 
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth 
 
(key change) 
G#5  D#5  F5   F5  D#5  C#5  C#5  G#5  Bb5     D#5 
 

Last chorus:  
F5        D5         Bb5 
No more lives torn apart  
      C5                A5 
That wars would never start  
    D5                   Bb5     C5 
And time would heal all hearts 
F5        D5                Bb5 
And everyone would have a friend 
     C5                 A5 
And right would always win  
     D5        D5   D5     F5        
And love would never e--nd  oh 
A5  D5     Bb5       C5         A5    
This is my grown-up Christmas list 
D5         Bb5    C5         A5    
This is my only life long wish 
D5          Bb5       C5         F5    
This is my grown-up Christmas list 
 
 
F5  C5  D5  D5  C5  Bb5    F5
