[Verse 1]
C     G      Am
Do you remember me?
Am   Em       F
I sat upon your knee
F        C
I wrote to you
Dm             G
With childhood fantasies

[Verse 2]
C       G        Am
Well, I'm all grown up now
Am         Em       F
And still need help somehow
F     C
I'm not a child
Dm                 G
But my heart still can dream.

[Verse 3]
C         G        Am
So here's my lifelong wish
Am       Em        F
My grown up christmas list
F     C
Not for myself
Dm             G
But for a world in need.

[Chorus]
C       Am          F
No more lives torn apart
Dm         G     Em
That wars would never start
Am                  F      G
And time would heal all hearts
C    Am               F
And everyone would have a friend
Dm          G      Em
And right would always win
Am         C     D   Em
And love would never end
Am    Dm       G         C
This is my grown up christmas list.

[Verse 4]
C        G    Am
As children we believed
Am       Em       F
The grandest sight to see
F         C
Was something lovely
Dm                  G
Wrapped beneath our tree.

[Verse 5]
C      G    Am
But heaven only knows
Am   Em      F
That packages and bows
F     C
Can never heal
Dm            G
A hurting human soul.

[Chorus]
C       Am          F
No more lives torn apart
Dm         G     Em
That wars would never start
Am                  F      G
And time would heal all hearts
C    Am               F
And everyone would have a friend
Dm          G      Em
And right would always win
Am         C     D   Em
And love would never end
Am    Dm       G         C
This is my grown up christmas list.

[Verse 6]
C
What is this illusion called
F
The innocence of youth
Am          D
Maybe only in our blind belief
G             B
Can we ever find the truth.
