STANDARD TUNING, NO CAPO
INTRO RIFF BASED ON C and F
CSo what if it's freezing, I'm aFwake and I'm happy
The sun's steepCling its shaGrds on mFy floor
CI drag my feet to the shower and I hGear someone singing
I keep the liCghts off a while and the waFter gets warmC  
Now I knot Cup my tie and toss boFoks in a schoolbag
They keeCp my prioGrities straFight
So I can sleepCwalk through work like an ouGtpatient program
CI don't buy but get throFugh anywayC  
And at some Cpoint I'll call you and teFll you I miss you
CAnd you are the Gpoint of my dayF  
And my fCace will get flushed and my thGroat will choke up
When you tCell me that you fFeel the saCme
So I Fhave been thinking of spClitting up Christmas
To see eAmveryone I'd Glike to seeF  
FAnd you're first on that list
You're the Dmlotto I hit
CYou're the star at the tGop of the treeC  
SOLO!!!!
FAnd I have been feeling this gCood for a reason
My friAmends and Gmy famFily
FYou all are my backbone
You keeDmp me balanced and settled
And CI'm in debt to Gyou all endlesslyC  
CSo tonight I will call you and tFry to say
Thank you for bCeing the suGn on my faFce
I know the worldC's almost over but you Fmake it seem better
And I hoCpe for you GI do the sameC

STANDARD TUNING, NO CAPO

INTRO RIFF BASED ON C and F

C F

So what if it's freezing, I'm awake and I'm happy

C G F

The sun's steepling its shards on my floor

C G

I drag my feet to the shower and I hear someone singing

C F C

I keep the lights off a while and the water gets warm

C F

Now I knot up my tie and toss books in a schoolbag

C G F

They keep my priorities straight

C G

So I can sleepwalk through work like an outpatient program

C F C

I don't buy but get through anyway

C F

And at some point I'll call you and tell you I miss you

C G F

And you are the point of my day

C G

And my face will get flushed and my throat will choke up

C F C

When you tell me that you feel the same

F C

So I have been thinking of splitting up Christmas

Am G F

To see everyone I'd like to see

And you're first on that list

You're the lotto I hit

C G C

You're the star at the top of the tree

SOLO!!!!

F C

And I have been feeling this good for a reason

Am G F

My friends and my family

You all are my backbone

You keep me balanced and settled

C G C

And I'm in debt to you all endlessly

C F

So tonight I will call you and try to say

C G F

Thank you for being the sun on my face

C F

I know the world's almost over but you make it seem better

C G C

And I hope for you I do the same
