Any split chords with an E on the bottom (most of the song) can be
played with an open bottom string.
If you have a band, the guitar should play the top chord with the normal
voicing, and the bass player should play the bottom line.

[Verse 1]
E B/E
Turn on all the Christmas lights
D/E A/E
'Cause baby's coming home tonight
C/E B/E E E/D
I can hear her footsteps in the street
C B
Turn the choral music higher
A7sus A
Pile more wood upon the fire
Dm7 G7 C C/Bb
That should make the atmosphere complete
[Pre-chorus 1]
F G
I've had to wait forever
Am B
But better late than never
[Chorus]
E F#m/E G#m/E A/E F#m/E G#m/E
She's just in time for me

She's right on time

She's right where she should be
E F#m/E G#m/E A/E
She's right on time
[Verse 2]
E B/E
I'm a man with so much tension
D/E A/E
Far too many sins to mention
C/E B/E E E/D
She don't have to take it anymore
C B
But since she said she's coming home
A7sus A
I've torn out all my telephones
Dm7 G7 C C/Bb
Soon she will be walking through that door
[Pre-chorus 2]
F G
I may be going nowhere
Am B
But I don't mind if she's there
[Chorus]

She's just in time for me

She's right on time

She's right where she should be

She's right on time
[Bridge]
C D Em
Left to my own device
G7/D C
I can always make believe
A7/C# D Dbaug C
That there's nothing wrong, whoa, oh, oh, oh
C D Em
Still I will chose to live
G7/D C
In the complicated world
A7/C# D
That we shared for so long
D#dim7 E
Good or bad, right or wrong
[Verse 3]
E B/E
And it occured to me
D/E A/E
While I set up my Christmas tree
C/E B/E E E/D
She never missed a cue or lost a beat
C B
Everytime I lost the meter
A7sus A
There she was when I would need her
Dm7 G7 C C/Bb
Greeting me with footsteps in the street
[Pre-chorus 3]
F G
I guess I should have known it
Am B
She'd find the perfect moment
[Chorus 3]
E F#m/E G#m/E A/E F#m/E G#m/E
She's just in time for me
E F#m/E G#m/E A/E
She's right on time

She's right where she should be
