He be-lieved in the things
that he al-ways thought he knew,
and had done all the things
Ab
that he always wanted to do,
Eb
collecting each thing
Bb5
reflecting his worth,
Ab
but now he pondered how
Eb Bb
he had wandered this earth.
[Chorus 1]
Bbsus4 Eb F/Eb
For we all seem
Bb Gm
to give our lives away,
Eb F/Eb
searching for the things that we
Bb Gm
think we must own,
Eb F/Eb
untill on this evening
Gm F
when the year is leaving
Eb F Bb5
we all try to find our way home.
[Verse 2]
Bb5
He had time,
or at least then
he always thought he did,
and mistakes, well,
he thought that time always would forgive
Ab Eb
each transgression for his intentions,
Bb5 Ab
forgetting, but years he squandered
Eb Bb
on things he now was regretting.
[Chorus 1]
Bbsus4 Eb F/Eb
For we all seem
Bb Gm
to give our lives away,
Eb F/Eb
searching for the things that we
Bb Gm
think we must own,
Eb F/Eb
untill on this evening
Gm F
when the year is leaving
Eb F Bb
we all try to find our way home.

For we all seem

searching for things that we

if on this christmas night
Eb Bb5 Ab5 Eb5 Bb5
I could just find my way home.
