Ice Storm 2008 Merry Christmas

A D The cars on the street are covered in snow A D The world woke up white and we got nowhere to go A D So we fill our coffee cups with another round A D And watch the quiet streets outside as flakes fall to the ground Bm E And we smile to each other as the record spins around A D Merry Christmas (ooo ooo ooo ooo) A D Merry Christmas (ooo ooo ooo ooo) A D We put our jackets on and go for a walk A D The neighbors are building a snowman just down the block A D and people share our smiles as they can relate A D Yeah we're forced to accept the things that we cannot change Bm E So we smile to each other and say... A D Merry Christmas (ooo ooo ooo ooo) A D Merry Christmas (ooo ooo ooo ooo) Bm E Merry Christmas (ooo ooo ooo ooo) Bm Yeah they called it Ice Storm 2008 E And we were stuck on the hill and so we sledded all day C#m Pretended work didn't ever exist D And we laughed at all the trouble that we were in Bm And we watched the bold ones try to leave E Like the land rover on Lizzie's street C#m As it ping-ponged off parked cars D Before the driver abandoned all his chances at the bottom Bm And we drank hot whiskey apple cider E And took the bus down to the theater C#m Was the happiest bus load of people alive D As we white-knuckle laughed and prayed aloud we don't die Bm And there was this persuasive post-war feeling E Like a bomb had dropped and folks were reeling C#m But the damage was snow and ice D And it became the common ground that helped us see eye-to-eye Bm E So we smiled to each other and said... A D Merry Christmas! (ooo ooo ooo ooo) A D Merry Christmas! (ooo ooo ooo ooo) Bm E Merry Christmas! (ooo ooo ooo ooo) A D Merry Christmas! (ooo ooo ooo ooo) A D Merry Christmas! (ooo ooo ooo ooo) Bm E Merry Christmas! (ooo ooo ooo ooo) A Merry Christmas
