[Intro] Dsus2 Em G6 Dsus2 2x [Verse 1]
       Dsus2                Em
In the world that you would make up

     G6                   Dsus2
With unicorns and buffalo backs

  Dsus2               Em
I know that you would wake up

         G6                       Dsus2
With the sunny side touching your back
[Chorus 1]
          Dsus2          Em
Is it the lonely man of Christmas?

G6                         Dsus2
Coming up with theories on him

          Dsus2         Em
Is it the lonely man of Christmas?

     G6                    Dsus2
He's riding in the devil's abyss
[Verse 2]
    Dsus2             Em
Oh, I would write the future

   G6                      Dsus2
If I could put a finger on it

    Dsus2      Em
But I have no idea

   G6                         Dsus2
If what I want is better than this
[Chorus 2]
          Dsus2          Em
Is it the lonely man of winter?

G                        Dsus2
I could put my finger on that

          Dsus2            Em
Is it the lonely drive to Denver?

    G6                         Dsus2
The loneliness of Hoppington's hat
[Chorus 3]
          Dsus2            Em
Is it the time we spent in silence?

G6                            Dsus2
Time will tell what winter he had

          Dsus2          Em
Is it the lonely man of winter?

G6                       Dsus2
I could put my finger on that
[Outro]
    Dsus2        Em
And even if it's Christmas

G6                          Dsus2
Could we just pretend for a bit

     Dsus2               Em
That everything we went through

    G                        Dsus2
Was someone else's carpenter kiss
