Whew..this will go down in the record books as one of the hardest
songs ever to pick out! I tried to get it as close as possible
to the complex piano chords on the recording.
**Play with a capo on 4 to match album key** GD/F#EmDC
Do you remember me, I sat upon your knee
CG/BAmAm7D
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
GD/F#EmDC
Well, I'm all grown-up now and still need help somehow
CG/BAmAm7D
I'm not a child but my heart still can dream
GD/F#EmDC
So here's my lifelong wish, my grown-up Christmas list
CG/BAmAm7D
Not for myself but for a world in need
EC#mA
No more lives torn apart
BG#m7
That wars would never start
C#mAB
And time would heal all hearts
EC#mA
And everyone would have a friend
BG#m7
And right would always win
C#mC#m7C#mEb
And love would never e----nd
G#m7C#mABEEsusE
This is my grown-up Christmas list
C#mABGD/F#EmDC
As children we believed the grandest sight to see
CG/BAmAm7D
Was something lovely wrapped beneath our tree
GD/F#EmDC
Well Heaven surely knows that packages and bows
CG/BAmAm7D
Can never heal a hurting human soul
CHORUS EA
What is this illusion called the innocence of youth
C#mF#7BCmaj7
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth
(key change) G#D#FmFmD#C#C#G#BbmD#Last chorus: FDmBb
No more lives torn apart
CAm7
That wars would never start
DmBbC
And time would heal all hearts
