what a time to be alive,

sadly
some friends disappeared, it's never been like this before,
Am - D
it
feels like we're at war.
G - Em G
2. So I wonder who's gonna
decide if we can do the Auld Lang Syne,
- Em Am - D
I wish that I could do what I
like with this family of mine,
Am - D
we're
going out of our minds.

So what are we to do about
your FaceTimes and your Zooms ?
Em C
There's a room inside my mind,
and it's always here for you.
D
Nothing's gonna stop
Christmas, no chance !
G
- Em C
You can't take away our season
like you can't take away the wine,

to believe in after a year of being in,

nobody about

So where will we all be come
this time next year ?
Em D C
I know you'll be with me and
I'll be here,
D

gonna take Christmas !
+ CHORUS
+ Why, oh, why, are we
all waiting,
the
whole damn world anticipating ?
Beyond boredom and frustration
the
planet's locked in ‘what ifs’ and ‘maybes’.
