Slow As Christmas

D A You're as slow as Christmas D E A I was up before the dawn D E A Up so fast I missed it D Or was that old saying wrong? D A Every Christmas Day makes D A Every other day seem long D E A What seemed would never get here D A Has so quickly come and gone F#m E I've heard old sayings, old cliches D A And most of them make sense D A But we're wiser in our younger days B7 E Not easily convinced F#m E There's no way to look ahead D A With the wool over your eyes D A And it seems that Santa's sled D E A Isn't the only thing that flies D A You're as slow as Christmas D E A I was up before the dawn D E A Up so fast I missed it D Or was that old saying wrong? D A Every Christmas Day makes D A Every other day seem long D E A What seemed would never get here D A Has so quickly come and gone F#m E We're bringing in another year D A Let's throw the old one back D A With my new train, I'll be the engineer B7 E And hurry down the track F#m E While I know that time is standing still D A I hear that old cliche D A And I'm more convinced it does until D E A That one December day D A When I'm as slow as Christmas D E A I'll be up before the dawn D E A I'm not gonna miss this D I know that old saying's wrong D A Every Christmas Day makes D A Every other day seem long D E A What seemed would never get here D A Has so quickly come and gone D A Come and gone...
