D G
They got Christmas Muzak
C G
Piped in through the ceiling
D/F# Em
And the refills of coffee
C G
Are always for free
D G
And the waitress on graveyard
C G
And the surly night manager
Em C D
Are wishing that all of us losers would leave
Am
There's a star on the sign
Em
At the Texaco Station
Am
Like the star long ago
C
On that midnight clear
Am
As I look all around
Em
At these cold, empty faces
D G D/F# Em C D
I doubt that you'd find many wise men here
D G
And I'm dreaming about
C G
A silent night
C G
A Holy night
C D
When things were alright
G
And I'm dreaming about
C G
How my life could have been
Em Bm Am
If only, if only, if only
Am
But somewhere down the road
C
I gave up that fight
G
Merry Christmas
D C G
It's Christmas at Denny's tonight
D G
Once I had a home
C G
And a wife and a daughter
Em
Had a company job
C G
Earning middle-class pay
D G
Then Lisa got killed
C G
By a car near the schoolyard
D/F# Em
And my wife started drinking
C D
Just to get through each day
Am Em
I will never forget that little red wagon
Am C
Turning to rust all alone in the rain
Am
One morning I flagged down
Em
A truck on the highway
G Em C D
I just couldn't bear to go back there again
D G
And I'm dreaming about
C G
A silent night
C G
A Holy night
C D
When things were alright
G
And I'm dreaming about
C G
How my life could have been
Em Bm Am
If only, if only, if only
Am
Well, it's not just the blind man
C
Who loses his sight
G
Merry Christmas
D C G
It's Christmas at Denny's tonight
Post-Chorus
C
They say
D C
Life's made of cruel circumstance
D Em
Fate plays the tune and we dance
Am
Dance til we drop
Am
In the dust and we're gone
D
And the world just goes on
D G
The cop at the counter
C G
He's the guardian angel
D/F# Em
He watches these orphans
C G
Through dark mirrored shades
G
And the register rings
C G
Like a bell sadly tolling
D/F# Em
For the fools we've become
Em C D
And the price that we paid
Am
Oh when I was a boy
Em
I believed in Christmas
Am C
Miracle season to make a new start
Am Em
I don't need no miracle, sweet baby Jesus
G D/F#
Just help me find
C D
Some kind of hope in my heart
D G
And I'm dreaming about
C G
A silent night
C G
A Holy night
C D
When things were alright
G
And I'm dreaming about
C G
How my life could have been
Em Bm Am
If only, if only, if only
Am
But I'll still be here
C
At the morning's first light
G
Merry Christmas
D C G
It's Christmas at Denny's tonight
G
Merry Christmas
D C G
It's Christmas at Denny's tonight
