A#dim7x12020  A/C#x4222x
[Verse]
EmI never saw it as the stDart,
It’s more a chGange of heart
FRapping on the windows, whistling down the chimney Epot
GBlowing up the dust in the room where I foDrgot
I laCid my plans in solid rBock
EmStepping through the door
Like a troubadour whiling just an Ahour away,
EmLooking at the trees on the roadside feeling it's a hAoliday
[Chorus]
DYou and I should rA#dim7ide the coast
And wBmind up in our faA/C#vourite coats just mileEms away.
GRoll a number write another song
Like JiAmmy heard the day he caught the train.
[Post-Chorus]
DWo wAo la la

[Verse]
EmHe sipped another rum and cDoke and told a diGrty joke
FWalking like Groucho sucking on a number 1E0
GRolling on the floor with the cigarette burns walked Din
I'll miCss the crush and I'm hoBme again
EmStepping through the door
With the night in store whiling just an hoAur away,
EmStep into the sky in the star bright feeling it’s a brAighter day.
[Chorus]
DYou and I should rA#dim7ide the coast
And wBmind up in our faA/C#vourite coats just milEmes away.
GRoll a number write another song
Like JiAmmy heard the day he caught the train.

Rapping on the windows, whistling down the chimney pot
