Verse 1
Bm G#m G# F#
And all that I wanted for christmas is to be told that u loved me
Bm G#m G# F#

Bm G#m G# F# Bm
I don’t know why but im lonely on all these long drives
G#m G#

F#

Bridge
[rhythm change for bridge.palm muted]
Bm G#m G# F#
Chorus 1
Bm G#m G# F# Bm
So I plan to leave dry land and never set foot on it again
G#m G# F#
sail until I meet the worlds end
Bm G#m G#
and I wont be frightened of all the creatures that threaten
F#
my fragile hull from the deep
Bm G#m G#
F#
and all the dark corners and all the dark bedrooms in both of our eyes.
[play like bridge with palm mutes]
Verse 2
Bm G#m G#
I will give my life for a moment of silence
F#
I know my family hears me singin my sad and simple songs
Bm G#m
and I hope they will carry me
G#
like a ship over oceans of tired and blurried eyes boys
F#
and girls who will listen
Bm G#m
and understand I am sorry
G# F# [1,2,3,4]
that I cannot give them anything anything more.
[faster]
Chorus 2
Bm
I will leave the dark
G#m G#
follow this compass that you gave me
F#
feel like Columbus out to discover our new land
Bm G#m
you said that u wanted to plant a garden
G# F#
it could be our eden you said
Chorus 3
Bm
and I will play captain
G#m G#
stare at the future through my looking glass as we fall
F#
off of the corners of all the maps
Bm G#m
and tattoos on my arm are proud like a sailors
G#
and this lump in my throat is from the cold
F#
and the artic not because
I miss you now.
