Biography:
Dustin Kensrue (born November 18, 1980) is the vocalist, lyricist, and rhythm guitarist in the Orange County post-hardcore quartet Thrice, as well as a solo artist.
Dustin also has a solo acoustic side project under his own name. He had toured in past years on his own under the moniker "Ursus Veritas," but decided to drop the name in favor of simplicity since "people have enough trouble just pronouncing [his] last name to begin with." The name was a play-on-words of its Latin components: Ursus meaning bear, and Veritas meaning truth.

It was Christmas Eve babe
G
In the drunk tank
D
An old man said to me,
A
"Won't see another one"
D
And then he sang a song
G
'The Rare Old Mountain Dew'
D
I turned my face away
A D A
And dreamed about you
D
Got on a lucky one
G
Came in eighteen to one
D
I had a feeling
A
That year was for me and you
D
Said Happy Christmas

I love you baby

I can see a better time

D A
They've got cars big as bars
Bm G
They've got rivers of gold
D
But the wind blows right through you
A
It's no place for the old
D A
When I first took your hand
D G
All your fingers were blue
D
But I promised you
A D
Broadway was waiting for you
A
I was handsome, you were pretty
D A
Queen of New York City
D G
When the band finished playing
A D
They howled out for more
A
Sinatra was swinging,
D A
All the drunks they were singing
D G
We kissed on a corner
A D
Then danced through the night
G
The boys of the NYPD choir
D Bm
Were singing "Galway Bay"
D G A
And the bells were ringing out
D
For Christmas day

The apartment was cluttered
D A
And it smelled like the gutter
D G
Where My sad broken promises
A D
lay with the trash
A
Every cold dreary night
D G
We'd end up in a fight
D G
And I'd pray as you'd yell
A D
That a train'd rattle past
G
And the boys of the NYPD choir
D Bm
still singing "Galway Bay"
D G A
And the bells were ringing out
D
For Christmas day

I could have been someone

Said so could anyone

That I took your dreams from you
A
When you first found me
D
I kept them with me babe
G
I put them with my own
D
Can't make it all alone
G A D A
I've built my dreams around you
D
Its Christmas Eve again
G
In the drunk tank
D
I'm an old man now
A
I won't see another one
D
So I'll sing a song
G
And sleep when I am through
D
Dream of another life
G A D
Where all our dreams came true.
