🎸 Verse 1:
C majorC              C/EC/E   A minorAm
December of '04, we got a Yuletide show
C majorC              C/EC/E A minorAm
The miracle of manna, an inch of snow
G+G
It didn't melt all day
A minorAm
We used a trash can for a sleigh
FF            C majorC
And we still talk about it

C majorC              C/EC/E   A minorAm
Here at decades older, I am less impressed
C majorC                 C/EC/E  A minorAm
Seems the blessing only comes with bitterness
G+G                   A minorAm
Bi-annually, at least, the pipes and asphalt will freeze
FF             C majorC
And we'll still talk about it

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
C majorC
If I wish for anything this year
A minorAm
It would be a bigger house
FF
With walls spaced far enough apart
FF
To keep my loved ones out the dark
C majorC     C/EC/E  A minorAm    G+G
When the power grid goes out

🎸 Chorus:
C majorC            A minorAm
'Cause I keep you in my heart
C majorC                 A minorAm
Yeah, I keep you even when we are apart
C majorC              FF
And I'd keep you out of the dark
      C majorC
If I only could

🎸 Verse 2:
C majorC                  C/EC/E A minorAm
All that you believe in can survive this one
C majorC                     C/EC/E A minorAm
A augmentedA fairy only keeps her wings if you cheer them on
G+G
Well, it's hard to find a star
A minorAm
In all this godforsaken dark
FF          C majorC
So I'll believe in you

C majorC                    C/EC/E A minorAm
Sure, the days are colder and the nights are long
C majorC                    C/EC/E A minorAm
But don't you worry, I don't think the magic's gone
G+G
We could light a fire
A minorAm
We could lift our voices higher
FF         C majorC
We can believe in you

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
C majorC
If I wish for anything this year
A minorAm
It would be a crystal ball
FF
Or the winning numbers on the wall
FF
Wouldn't want a dime or dollar
G+G        FF   A minorAm     G+G
Only power to change anything at all

🎸 Chorus:
C majorC            A minorAm
'Cause I keep you in my heart
C majorC              A minorAm
I keep you even when we are apart
C majorC             FF
I'd keep you out of the dark
      C majorC
If I only could

C majorC            A minorAm
Yeah, I keep you in my heart
C majorC             A minorAm
I keep you even when we're worlds apart
C majorC              FF
I will keep you out of the dark
