Misc Christmas – Grown-Up Christmas List (Guitar)

    G     D/F#  Em          D        C
Do you remember me, I sat upon your knee

   C       G/B       Am       Am7    D
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies 

       G      D/F#     Em                  D        C
Well, I'm all grown-up now and still need help somehow

     C     G/B      Am       Am7        D
I'm not a child but my heart still can dream

So here's my lifelong wish, my grown-up Christmas list

     C     G/B     Am      Am7    D
Not for myself but for a world in need 

E        C#m         A
No more lives torn apart

As children we believed the grandest sight to see

     C        G/B     Am       Am7        D
Was something lovely wrapped beneath our tree

      G     D/F#   Em               D       C
Well Heaven surely knows that packages and bows 

     C     G/B    Am      Am7   D
Can never heal a hurting human soul

And time would heal all hearts

E        C#m               A
And everyone would have a friend

     B                 G#m7
And right would always win 

     C#m       C#m7  C#m  Eb        
And love would never e----nd

      C#m          F#7                B              Cmaj7
