Got fed up of seeing the same Snow Patrol tabs everywhere so here's a new one.
It's very christmassy, and has also been done by The Reindeer Section (who the
lead singer of Snow Patrol is also a member of).

Lyrics:
(Intro)
C Am (X4)
(Verse 1)
C Am C Am
When I get home for christmas
C Am C Am
I'll do anything you want
C Am C Am
Wear your clothes like you ask me
C Am C Am
Dress up like a christmas tree
(Pre-chorus 1)(No lyrics)
E F
(Verse 2)
We can spend the day together
First time in a long long while
You can wrap me up in tinsel
Make as much noise as you like
(Pre-chorus 2)
E F
When I said, I loved her instead
(Chorus)
G F C
It's funny how you misunderstand
G F C
I only want to hold her hand
G F C
You're so far from me my true love (?)
G F C(start of intro again)
That I can't see to right my, right my wrongs (?)
(Intro again)
(Verse 3)
When we get home for christmas
Like kids on our knees on the floor
Open presents between kisses
Your eyes burn stronger than the fire
(Pre-chorus 2)
(Chorus)
(Repeat intro, fade out, whatever)

| I love how Gary Lightbody can turn even a Christmas song into a just-short-of-depressing love offering. He's anxious to get home to repair a relationship he's screwed up. He's prepared to do anything this girl wants him to no matter how embarassing or seemingly emasculating. I like the desperation of the lyrics. It's amusing how he tries to convince her she misunderstood him when he confessed love for someone else but insists he actually only wanted to hold her hand. I don't buy that. I don't think she would either. I feel sort of bad for him since he's so earnest, but I'm left to wonder if he really wants her back or just doesn't want to be all alone on Christmas... I adore this tune. The sleigh bells jingling in the background are just perfect. | |
