Do you remember me, I sat upon your knee
D A/C# Bm Bm7 E
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
A E/G# F#m E D
Well, I'm all grown-up now and still need help somehow
D A/C# Bm Bm7 E
I'm not a child but my heart still can dream
A E/G# F#m E D
So here's my lifelong wish, my grown-up Christmas list
D A/C# Bm Bm7 E
Not for myself but for a world in need
F# D#m B
No more lives torn apart
C# A#m7
That wars would never start
D#m B C#
And time would heal all hearts
F# D#m B
And everyone would have a friend
C# A#m7
And right would always win
D#m D#m7 D#m F
And love would never e----nd
A#m7 D#m B C# F# F#sus F#
This is my grown-up Christmas list

A E/G# F#m E D
As children we believed the grandest sight to see
D A/C# Bm Bm7 E
Was something lovely wrapped beneath our tree
A E/G# F#m E D
Well Heaven surely knows that packages and bows
D A/C# Bm Bm7 E
Can never heal a hurting human soul
F# B
What is this illusion called the innocence of youth
D#m G#7 C# F#4 F#
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth
