Grown-Up Christmas List

 
                  G     D/F#  Em          D        C  
Do you remember me, I sat upon your knee  
   C       G/B       Am       Am7    D  
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies   
       G      D/F#     Em                  D        C  
Well, I'm all grown-up now and still need help somehow  
     C     G/B      Am       Am7        D  
I'm not a child but my heart still can dream   
 
    G        D/F#     Em                  D        C  
So here's my lifelong wish, my grown-up Christmas list  
     C     G/B     Am      Am7    D  
Not for myself but for a world in need   
 
 
 
E        C#m         A  
No more lives torn apart   
      B                G#m7  
That wars would never start   
    C#m                   A     B  
And time would heal all hearts  
E        C#m               A  
And everyone would have a friend  
     B                 G#m7  
And right would always win   
     C#m       C#m7  C#m  Eb          
And love would never e----nd  
G#m7 C#m    A        B         E   Esus E  
This is my grown-up Christmas list  
 
 
C#m  A  B    
 
    G       D/F#  Em                  D        C  
As children we believed the grandest sight to see  
     C        G/B     Am       Am7        D  
Was something lovely wrapped beneath our tree  
      G     D/F#   Em               D       C  
Well Heaven surely knows that packages and bows   
     C     G/B    Am      Am7   D  
Can never heal a hurting human soul  
 
 
CHORUS  
 
E                             A  
What is this illusion called the innocence of youth   
      C#m          F#7                B              Esus4 E  
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth
