_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ If you think of the Christmas [G] story, it's the story of a homeless family.
[D] That is the Christmas story.
[E] So there's something [D] very poignant about being out at Christmas and reminding people of that.
It's that time of year, the symbology of that has that ripple effect.
Yeah, and this is the divinity, and we should see the divinity in each other, no matter what our conditions.
[E] _ But I think it is an extraordinary [A] thing that [D] if there is a force of love and logic behind the world, behind the universe,
and I believe there is, that it should describe itself [E] as a child born in shit and straw.
There's something so powerful about that.
And [D] I'll be honest with you, the first time it_
_ When somebody says, I'll be honest with you, they're usually [G] about to tell you a lie.
But in this case, I'm telling you the [D] truth.

[D] Said, I gotta do something about [G] where we're going. _ _ _ _

_ [D] _ Run from the darkness in [G] _ tonight. _ _ _
Singing [A] ah, la, la, la, [G] la, la, la, la, la, [A] la, la, la, la, la. _ _ _ _

_ _ [D] _ _ Sweet the sin, bitter the [G] taste.
in my mind.
_ _ [D] _ I see seven towers,
_ but I [G] only see one way out. _
_ You [D] gotta cry without weeping, _
talk without speaking,
_ [G] scream without raising your voice.
You know I [D] took a poison,
_ a poison stream,
[G] and I floated out of here,
_ _ _ [A] _ singing la-la-la [C] [G] today,
_ [A] _ _ la-la-la [G] today.
[D] la-la-la today. _ _

_ _ _ [D] _ She walks through the streets
with her eyes [G] painted red
under a black belly,
a cloud in the [D] rain,
into a doorway she brings me [G] white gold and pearls stolen from sea [D] she is raging
she is raging and [G] storm blows up in her eyes
_ [A] well, _ I've got an eagle's chest
[G] _ _ _ she's running [C] to stand _ [D] still _ _ _
