[Verse 1]
G                             D                  C
We can leave the Christmas light up till January

And this is our place, we made the rules
C
And there’s a dazzling haze

A mysterious way about you, dear
G                             D                                           C
Have I known you twenty seconds or twenty years?

This is our place, we made the call

And I’m highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you
