[Verse 1]
In an C/Cold city bC/Bar
ThAm7/Aat's never tAm7/Goo far
From tFhe places tEmhat gather
the Fdreams that have G*been
In the C/Csafety of C/Bnight
By an Am7/Aold neon Am7/Glight
It bFeckons to Emstrangers
that Falways come in G
And the C/Csnow it was C/Bfalling
The Am7/Aneon was Am7/Gcalling
The Fmusic was Emlow
And the Fnight, Christmas GEve
And C/Chere was the C/Bdanger
Am7/AEven with Am7/Gstrangers
InFside of this Emnight
FIt's Geasier to beC/ClieveC/B Am7/A Am7/G F G
[Verse 2]
Then the C/Cdoor opened C/Bwide
And a Am7/Achild came Am7/Ginside
That Fno one in the Embar
Had Fseen there Gbefore
And he C/Casked did we C/Bknow
That Am7/Aoutside in the Am7/Gsnow
That Fsomeone was Emlost
Standing Foutside our Gdoor
And the C/Cbartender C/Bgazed
Through the Am7/Asmoke and Am7/Gthe haze
Through the Fwindow and Emice
To that cornFer streetliGght
Where C/Cstanding aC/Blone
By a Am7/Abroken pay Am7/Gphone
Was a Fgirl the Emchild said
Could no Flonger get Ghome
And the C/Csnow it was C/Bfalling
The Am7/Aneon was Am7/Gcalling
The Fbartender Emturned and said,
F"Not that I Gcare.
But C/Chow would you C/Bknow this?"
The Am7/Achild said, "I've Am7/Gnoticed,
If Fone could Embe home,
FThey'd be Galready

there. (repeat tab through Bridge 1)
[Bridge 1]
Then the Fbartender Ccame out
From Fbehind the Cbar
In Fall of his Clife
He was Gnever that Cfar
And he Fdid something Celse
That he Fthought no one Csaw
And he Gtook all the Ccash
From the Gregister Cdrawer
[BRIDGE 2]
Then he Gfollowed the child
To the Fgirl across the Cstreet
And we waGtched from the bar
As they Fstarted to Cspeak
Then he Fcalled for a Ccab
And he Fsaid, "J.F.CK."
Put the Fgirl in the Ccab
Then the Fcab drove aCway
And we Fsaw in his Chands
That the cFash was all Cgone
From the lFight that she Chad wished uGpon
(STRUM CHORDS)
If you C/Cwant to C/Barrange it
This Am7/Aworld you can Am7/Gchange it
If we Fcould somehow Emmake this
FChristmas thing Glast
By C/Chelping a C/Bneighbor
Or Am7/Aeven a Am7/Gstranger
And to Fknow who needs Emhelp
FYou need Gonly just
C/Cask C/B Am7/A Am7/G F Em G
Then he C/Clooked for the C/Bchild
The child wasn't there
Just the Fwind and the Emsnow
Waltzing Fdreams through the Gair
And he C/Cwalked back inC/Bside
Somehow Am7/Adifferent I Am7/Gthink
For the Frest of the Emnight
No one Fpaid for a Gdrink
And the C/Ccynics will C/Bsay
That somAm7/Ae neighborhoAm7/God kid
Wondered Fin on some Embums
In the Fworld where they Ghid
But C/Cthey weren't C/Bthere
So Am7/Athey couldn't Am7/Gsee
By an Fold neon Emstar
On that Fnight Christmas GEve
When the C/Csnow it was C/Bfalling
The Am7/Aneon was Am7/Gcalling
In Fcase you should Emwonder
In Fcase you should Gcare
Why C/Cwe on our C/Bown
Am7/ANever went Am7/Ghome
On that Fnight of all Emnights
We were Falready
