Merry Christmas (I Love You)

   E             A  E
If God takes you he leaves
       A            E        A         E
A huge footprint of love and kindness behind
         A              B
Which is where you once stood
And I know you're afraid to get on the plane
After what happened that day
And selfishly I want you here in my way

But animals come and animals go
Love is just a laundry line we hang on until
We're dried out by the sun
And when you think your turn is done
You end up getting dirty and it's all again begun

A             B       C#m
Ooooooooooooo ooooooo oooooooooooo
Ah
Ooooooooooooo ooooooo oooooooooooo
Haai
Ooooooooooooo ooooooo

Now words I think are just a noisy dirty wind
Makes the trouble we get in
So why do we speak?

Now we've made another war
That's what men are good for
Men with stupid insecurities and not alot more
And satisfied they tried
It's written about again
But who the hell reads history?
Apparantly not men

Ooooooooooooo ooooooo oooooooooooo
Ha
Ooooooooooooo ooooooo oooooooooooo
Ooo
Ooooooooooooo ooooooo

I guess nothing's guaranteed except the politics of need
Did the romans see the ship go down or were they asleep
And I shouldn't expect to live
And I shouldn't expect to die
But I wouldn't mind being beside you dear
On that laundry line to dry

And for my grandma and my brother, my father and my mother
And you my sweetest lover
To you all I will say
Merry Christmas, I love you, and God is above you
Merry Christmas, I love you, and God is above you
Merry Christmas, I love you
