Bm            G#m         G#           F#
And all that I wanted for christmas is to be told that u loved me
Bm         G#m          G#      F#
part of me knows that u need it but cant say it and
Bm     G#m         G#    F#                        Bm
I      don�t know  why   but im lonely on all these  long drives

F#
but u never tell me why.

Bridge
[rhythm change for bridge.palm muted]
Bm G#m  G#  F#

Chorus 1
Bm   G#m   G#                F#                      Bm
So I plan  to leave dry land and never set foot on it  again
          G#m     G#            F#
sail until I meet the worlds end
   Bm                   G#m         G#
and I wont be frightened of all the creatures that threaten
F#
my fragile hull from the deep
Bm         G#m                      G#
                                                                  F#
and all the dark corners and all the dark bedrooms in both of our eyes.


[play like bridge with palm mutes]
Verse 2
Bm          G#m                      G#
I will give my life for a moment of silence
                                 F#
I know my family hears me singin my sad and simple songs
Bm                G#m
and I hope they will carry me
                           G#
like a ship over oceans of tired and blurried eyes boys
   F#
and girls who will listen
Bm                    G#m
and understand I am sorry
                       G#                   F# [1,2,3,4]
that I cannot give them anything anything more.


[faster]
Chorus 2
Bm
I will leave the dark
G#m                                G#
follow this compass that you gave me
                                  F#
feel like Columbus out to discover our new land
        Bm                             G#m
you said that u wanted to plant a garden
          G#       F#
it could be    our eden you said

Chorus 3
Bm
and I will play captain
             G#m                                     G#
stare at the future through my looking glass as we fall
                                F#
off of the corners of all the maps
     Bm                       G#m
and tattoos on my arm are proud like a sailors
                             G#
and this lump in my throat is from the cold
                        F#
and the artic not because

I miss you now.
