C       Am
All the best
F   Dm
Holidays when
C       Am        F       Dm
We were less like what we are


[Verse 1]
C       Am
Copper mines
F         Dm G
Down in Peru
   C          Am
Is where they find
     F                        Dm
What becomes, what becomes of you


[Verse 2]
C       Am
Younger world
G           Dm           C
  Holding a much younger girl
C       Dm
Ancient love
F                 Dm
Open and raw as a mineral deposit


[Pre-Chorus]
C             Am
My layover is almost up
F          Dm
Valparaiso here I come
   C                           Am
Collapse on the couch with the lights still on
F                   Dm
Tree in the corner, snow on the lawn
C                     Am
Lit all your candles, let them burn
F                  Dm               C
Hopefully get what you deserve this Christmas


[Chorus]
C       Am
All the best
F   Dm
Holidays when
C       Am        F       Dm
We were less like what we are

C       Am
All the best
F   Dm
Holidays when
C       Am        F       Dm
We were less than what we are


[Verse 3]
C       Am
All the way
F         Dm
Out in Chicago
C         Am
Bits of Peru
     F                  Dm
Melt down to a chunk of brass
    C           Am
And fashion themselves
G           Dm     C           Am
  As the container and hangs itself
     F                      Dm
On a little necklace with a picture of you inside of it


[Pre-Chorus]
C             Am
My layover is almost up
F          Dm
Valparaiso here I come
C                           Am
Sleep on the couch with the lights all on
F                  Dm
Keys on the table, snow on the lawn
C                          Am
Cooked all the cookies but let them burn
F                     Dm                     C
One less neck for the neckless to serve this Christmas


[Chorus]
C        Am
All the best
F   Dm
Holidays when
C       Am        F       Dm
We were less like what we are

C        Am
All the best
F   Dm
Holidays when
C       Am         F      Dm
We were less like what we were

C        Am
All the best
F   Dm
Holidays when
C       Am         F      Dm
We were less than what we are
