Grown-Up Christmas List  - Amy Grant


Whew..this will go down in the record books as one of the hardest
songs ever to pick out! I tried to get it as close as possible 
to the complex piano chords on the recording.


**Play with a capo on 4 to match album key**


    G     D/F#  Em          D        C
Do you remember me, I sat upon your knee
   C       G/B       Am       Am7    D
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies 
       G      D/F#     Em                  D        C
Well, I'm all grown-up now and still need help somehow
     C     G/B      Am       Am7        D
I'm not a child but my heart still can dream 

    G        D/F#     Em                  D        C
So here's my lifelong wish, my grown-up Christmas list
     C     G/B     Am      Am7    D
Not for myself but for a world in need 


Chorus:
E        C#m         A
No more lives torn apart 
      B                G#m7
That wars would never start 
    C#m                   A     B
And time would heal all hearts
E        C#m               A
And everyone would have a friend
     B                 G#m7
And right would always win 
     C#m       C#m7  C#m  Eb        
And love would never e----nd
G#m7 C#m    A        B         E   Esus E
This is my grown-up Christmas list

C#m  A  B  

    G       D/F#  Em                  D        C
As children we believed the grandest sight to see
     C        G/B     Am       Am7        D
Was something lovely wrapped beneath our tree
      G     D/F#   Em               D       C
Well Heaven surely knows that packages and bows 
     C     G/B    Am      Am7   D
Can never heal a hurting human soul


CHORUS

E                             A
What is this illusion called the innocence of youth 
      C#m          F#7                B              Cmaj7
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth

Last chorus: 
F        Dm         Bb
No more lives torn apart 
      C                Am7
That wars would never start 
    Dm                   Bb     C
And time would heal all hearts
F        Dm                Bb
And everyone would have a friend
     C                 Am7
And right would always win 
     Dm        Dm7   Dm     F+       
And love would never e--nd  oh
Am7  Dm     Bb       C         Am7   
This is my grown-up Christmas list
Dm         Bb    C         Am7   
This is my only life long wish

This is my grown-up Christmas list
