G      Bm
Another year comes to an end
Em
A head full of thoughts,
     C
no more time to spend
      G
I mostly sleep well,
       Bm
the family is fine.
         Em
Just doing my job,
       C
Hashtag money is time
Am
Breakfast at work,
           C
having dinner in the car
G
Appointement at the doctors
      Bm
two beers at the bar
C
Don´t even know just what I feel
       D
And suddenly time stands still

[Refrain]
D                        G
When the lights are shining
            Em
Take a break, calm down
                      Bm
Christmas time is freedom
                 D
And it´s being home
D                        G
When the lights are shining
            Em
Take a break, calm down
                      Bm
Christmas time is freedom
                 D
And it´s being home

[Verse 2]
      Em
The kids are excited
          C
My head feels locked
G
Letters to Santa,
         Bm
Shopping Christmas stuff
Em
Redwine for grandma
         C
times are tough
Am                        C
Schedules tied but the days are coming
              G
the best never rests
          Bm
All waiting for something
        C
Every time when Christmas comes,
D
darkness slowly falls

[Refrain]
D                        G
When the lights are shining
            Em
Take a break, calm down
                      Bm
Christmas time is freedom
                 D
And it´s being home
D                        G
When the lights are shining
            Em
Take a break, calm down
                      Bm
Christmas time is freedom
                 D
And it´s being home

[Bridge]
Em
The radios playing
C
"Driving home for Christmas"
G                             Bm
And suddenly you´re a child again
         Em
And you start to realize
       C
that Christmas is where
            D
where it all began

[Refrain]
D                        G
When the lights are shining
            Em
Take a break, calm down
                      Bm
Christmas time is freedom
                 D
And it´s being home
D                        G
When the lights are shining
            Em
Take a break, calm down
                      Bm
Christmas time is freedom
                 D
And it´s being home

[Refrain]
D                        G
When the lights are shining
            Em
Take a break, calm down
                      Bm
Christmas time is freedom
                 D
And it´s being home

Christmas time is freedom
                 D
And it´s being home
