Track 09 of Fearless Records' "Punk Goes Christmas" Album

[Intro]
C     G     F     G     (x2)


[Verse 1]
C             G            F            G
boxes and bows full of ribbons and clothes
        C          G          F     G
set up neatly beneath the tree
        C             G            F           G
with a tag on each one saying Santa has come
       C                          G
but where are the ones from me?


[Pre-Chorus]
          Am            F              C               
Oh how I wanted the lights in your eyes to be mine
  Am            F              G
I wanted the look on your face


[Chorus 1]
                        C
All I can give is this Christmas song to you
        C/B             Am
I just hope that you'll sing it
     F
whenever your heart skips a beat
                         C
while you're thinking of me
            C
and if the greetings this season will bring 
            C/B          Am
leave you searching for meaning
         F
you will look to the words I have written
                G
and you'll be set free
              Am         F                C
you have to know that I can't let you down
              Am           F                C 
it's you and me versus the rest of this town
                Am              F       C
and when the lights go out I'll still be around
                        G
to put a bow on some sounds

that's all I can give you this Christmas


C     G     F     G     (x2)


[Verse 2]
          C           G              F           G
and I know that to you it's just jewelry and shoes
        C                  G         F           G
but to me they're the smile on your face
            C              G            F            G 
cause baby you've been the glue and the nails and the screws
            C                            F
that have managed to keep me in place


[Pre-Chorus]
        Am      F             C
so I wanted a gift for my lady in white 
      Am                F            G
but all I could bring you tonight


[Chorus 2]
                        C
All I can give is this Christmas song to you
        C/B             Am
I just hope that you'll sing it
     F
whenever your heart skips a beat
                         C
while you're thinking of me
            C
and if the greetings this season will bring 
            C/B          Am
leave you searching for meaning
         F
you will look to the words I have written
                G
and you'll be set free
              Am         F               C
you have to know that I can't let you down
              Am           F                C 
it's you and me versus the rest of this town
                Am              F         C
and when the lights go out I'll still be around
                        G
to put a bow on some sounds

(that's all I can give you this...)


[Bridge]
           Am            Em
And I'm hoping that a melody
       C
will let you know
        Am              Em
that I'm waiting for a Christmas kiss
        G
with mistletoe

cause baby that's all I can give is


[Chorus 3]
                        C
All I can give is this Christmas song to you
        C/B             Am
I just hope that you'll sing it
     F
whenever your heart skips a beat
                         C
while you're thinking of me
            C
and if the greetings this season will bring 
            C/B          Am
leave you searching for meaning
         F
you will look to the words I have written
                G
and you'll be set free
              Am         F               C
you have to know that I can't let you down
              Am           F                C 
it's you and me versus the rest of this town
                Am              F         C
and when the lights go out I'll still be around
                        G
to put a bow on some sounds
                               C
that's all I can give you this Christmas
