Verse 1: Z Berg:
      E MajorE        A augmentedA
If it were me, I'd write another song
G# minorG#m         C# minorC#m
Something in a major key
F#F#          A augmentedA     E MajorE
You and I will always be "the dream"
E MajorE              A augmentedA
It was a scream when we were young and dumb
G# minorG#m       C# minorC#m
Acid on Topanga Beach
F#F#           A augmentedA     E MajorE
In my mind we'll always be that free
  A minorAm         E MajorE
But something changed along the way
A minorAm           BB
Winter never turned to Spring

Chorus: Z Berg & Ryan Ross:
E MajorE
It's Christmas Eve, you set the house on fire
A augmentedA
It's snowing on palm trees
A minorAm
The river has run dry
E MajorE
So let me set you free
A augmentedA
Let me help you please
A minorAm
Say goodbye on Christmas Eve


Verse 2: Ryan Ross:
E MajorE             A augmentedA
All the lights are on, but no one's home
G# minorG#m          C# minorC#m
Out cold on my frozen feet
F#F#           A augmentedA     E MajorE
With nothing lying underneath the tree
E MajorE            A augmentedA
The only soul I knew to telephone
G# minorG#m            C# minorC#m
Knows I'm lying through my teeth
F#F#           A augmentedA        E MajorE
We were always thick as thieves, you and me
  A minorAm         E MajorE
But something changed along the way
A minorAm           BB
Winter never turned to Spring

Chorus: Z Berg & Ryan Ross:
E MajorE
It's Christmas Eve, you set the house on fire
A augmentedA
It's snowing on palm trees

So let me help you please
A augmentedA
Let me help you leave
A minorAm
Say goodbye on Christmas Eve

E MajorE
