 if God  takes you  he leaves
 each footprint  of love
 and kindness  behind
 which is where  you once stood
 and i know  you're afraid
 to get  on the plane
 after what happened  that day
 and selfishly  i want  you here  in my way
 but animals  come
 and animals go
 but love  is just a laundry  line
 we hang  on unto
 we're dried  out by the sun
 and when you think  your turn is done
 you end  up getting dirty
 and its all  again begun
 now words  i think are just
 a noisy  dirty wind
 makes the trouble  we get in
 so why  do we speak?
 now we  made another war
 that's what men  are good  for
 men with stupid  insecurities
not  a lot more
 and satisfied  they try
 it's written  about  a gun
 but who  the hell reads history?
 apparently  not men
 cause  nothing's guaranteed
 except the politics  of need
 did the Romans  see the ship  go down
were  they asleep?
 I shouldn't  expect to live
 And I shouldn't  expect to die
 But I wouldnt  mind being beside  you, dear
 On that laundry  line to dry
 And for my grandma  and brother
 My father  and my mother
 And you  my sweetest lover
 To you  all I will say
 Merry Christmas  I love  you
 And God  is above you
 Merry  christmas I love  you
 And God  is above you
 Merry  christmas I love  you

and se[C]lfishly i wa[G]nt you h[Am]ere in my [D]way

but [G]animals c[D]ome
and [C]animals [G]go
but lo[C]ve is just a [G]laundry line
we h[Am]ang on u[D]nto

we're [G]dried out by the s[D]un
and when you thi[C]nk your turn is d[G]one
you en[C]d up getting [G]dirty
and its a[Am]ll again b[D]egun

[G] [D] [C] [G] [C] [G] [Am] [D]

now [G]words i think are ju[D]st
a n[C]oisy dirty w[G]ind
