[Intro]
G - Dm - F - C
G - Dm - F
[Verse]
G Dm
Oh, no one else is happily
F C G
Recklessly asking for more than
Dm
What they may need
F
I can't say what I need
[Verse 2]
G Dm
Oh, temper what you say if you've
F C
Nothing nice to say
G Dm
So my grandmother says to me
F
With her heart on her sleeve
[Verse 3]
G Dm
So, sadly I left the door
F C G Dm
Open and I let the dog out in the snow
F
Oh where did she go?
[Verse 4]
G Dm F
Oh, father friend, will you punish me, punish me
C G Dm
With a look of contempt, with a look of contempt
F
I can recall
[Verse 5]
G Dm F
Oh, I know you did right by me, right by me
C G Dm
Wagging your hands when you found me
F
With a bag of your things
[Verse 6]
G Dm
Please, please don't be a stranger here
F C G
A stranger who takes from the world
Dm F
Who takes from the world
[Verse 7]
G Dm F
You, you must be a Christmas tree, a Christmas tree
C G Dm
You light up the room, oh, you light up the room
F
Oh you light up the room
[Verse 8]
G Dm
So, suddenly you kiss me
F C G
You tickled me in front of your mother
Dm
Who looked away
F
With her hands on her face
[Instrumental break]
G - Dm - F - C
G - Dm - F
[Coda]
(quietly, building over next four stanzas)
G
Don't run away my friend
Dm
You won't be back again
C
You said you needed me
G
But I know that you needed yourself to be cleaned of me
G
Don't run away my friend
Dm
You won't be back again
C
You said you needed me
G
But I know that you needed yourself to be cleaned of me
G
Don't run away my friend
Dm
You won't be back again
C
You ran your hands through my hair in the snow
G
Where the frost of it blows with the terrible ghost
G
Don't run away my friend
Dm
You won't be back again
C
You said you needed me
G (hold)
But I know...
