Grown-Up Christmas List

	  		Whew..this will go down in the record books as one of the hardest 
songs ever to pick out! I tried to get it as close as possible  
to the complex piano chords on the recording.

    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              Cmaj7 
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth

Last chorus:  
F        Dm         Bb 
No more lives torn apart  
      C                Am7 
That wars would never start  
    Dm                   Bb     C 
And time would heal all hearts 
F        Dm                Bb 
And everyone would have a friend 
     C                 Am7 
And right would always win  
     Dm        Dm7   Dm     F+        
And love would never e--nd  oh 
Am7  Dm     Bb       C         Am7    
This is my grown-up Christmas list 
Dm         Bb    C         Am7    
This is my only life long wish 
Dm          Bb       C         F    
This is my grown-up Christmas list
