[C]
[F] It's Christmas time
There's [Cm] no need to be afraid
[C] Christmas time
You let in life
And we vanish [G] at [D] you
And [Am] in our world [Cm] Of plenty
We keep spreading
Smile [F] of joy
Pull your arms Around
[C] The Christmas time
But [F] say a prayer
[G]
Pray [C] for the other ones
At [F] Christmas time [G] It's hard
But when [C] you're having fun
There's [F] no world
Outside [G] your window
And [C] it's a world
Of dread [F] and fear
[Dm] We're the only Water [G] flowing
[C] Look at us
Look at [F] us
At [Dm] the Christmas bells [G] that ring there
[C] All the bright and shiny [F] things Well [Dm] tonight
[G] Everybody's there Instead [C] of

This [C] Christmas time
