Year Of The Rat

[Verse]

   D
It must be wearing off
               Em
We really feel older
    D
The dark year of the bat
                      Em
Weighs down on our shoulders
   Bm                              A
December is your chance to make it up
    D                                G
For all the crap you brought upon us all
    G                            A
I'm sorry there's no easy way to say this
    D                            G
But it's not exactly been an upward slope
    G                A                          D
Now December is your final chance to bring some hope
                  Em
It's just getting colder
    D
The year of the rat
             Em
Will soon be over


[Bridge]

Gm          F#m       Bm
  A                             Gm
A Bittersweet departure but an end
  F#m       Bm
    A                                 Gm
The weirdest Christmas cards we ever sent
        F#m                 Bm
(Do you mean it? What's the deal?)
    A                           Gm
And Santa Covid facemasks are a trend
        F#m                  Bm
(Do you mean it? Are you for real?)


[Refrain]

    A                                 G
Now Christmas is your chance to make amends
         A            G
While we light up the tree
A    G
(Aaaa-aaah)
   A        G
In heavenly peace
   A                         Bm          G
We forget our isolation, the time spent apart
        D         F#m           G           D
And the kids fall asleep to the sound of our hearts
        Bm         F#m           G           D
And the kids fall asleep to the sound of our hearts
        Bm         F#m           G           D
And the kids fall asleep to the sound of our hearts
        Bm         F#m           G           D
And the kids fall asleep to the sound of our hearts
        Bm         F#m           G           D
And the kids fall asleep to the sound of our hearts
        Bm         F#m           G           D
And the kids fall asleep to the sound of our hearts
