He be-lieved in the things

that he al-ways thought he knew,

and had done all the things
                         Ab
that he always wanted to do,
                Eb
collecting each thing
               Bb5
reflecting his worth,
    Ab
but now he pondered how
Eb                   Bb
he had wandered this earth.


[Chorus 1]
Bbsus4 Eb  F/Eb
For we all seem 
Bb          Gm
to give our lives away,
Eb                      F/Eb
searching for the things that we 
Bb             Gm
think we must own,
  Eb           F/Eb
untill on this evening 
     Gm              F
when the year is leaving
   Eb             F        Bb5
we all try to find our way home.


[Verse 2]
Bb5
He had time, 

or at least then 

he always thought he did,

and mistakes, well,

he thought that time always would forgive
Ab                     Eb
each transgression for his intentions,
Bb5             Ab
forgetting, but years he squandered
   Eb                  Bb
on things he now was regretting.


[Chorus 1]
Bbsus4 Eb  F/Eb
For we all seem 
Bb          Gm
to give our lives away,
Eb                      F/Eb
searching for the things that we 
     Bb          Gm
think we must own,
  Eb           F/Eb
untill on this evening 
     Gm              F
when the year is leaving
   Eb             F        Bb
we all try to find our way home.

[Chorus 2]
Bbsus4 Eb  F/Eb
For we all seem 
Bb          Gm
to give our lives away,
Eb            F/Eb
searching for things that we 
Bb                Gm
think we must own,
               F/Eb
but on this evening 
     Gm              F
when the year is leaving
  Eb            F
I think I would be alright
Eb         F
if on this christmas night
Eb                       Bb5   Ab5 Eb5 Bb5
I could just find my way home.
