Intro: Bb

Bb             C
  Another year over
              Eb
Where do they go to
               F Bb
It’s a mystery
           C
Now it’s December
             Eb
So much to remember
                 
Before Christmas eve


Bb            C
  I’m already late
                  Eb
And my train is delayed
                        F Bb
“disruption” on the line
            C
I race into work
                   Eb
And the place is beserk
                      
Yes it’s Christmas time

Chorus:
Bb  C                 F
     I wanna find the greatest gift
      Bb      F   Bb   F
I can give my family
Bb
But right now
F                    Bb
I don’t have time to breathe


Bb                   C
  The streets are chaotic
             Eb
The shops idiotic
                            F Bb
There’s a que for the que?!
                      C
a granny’s taking her time
                    Eb
At the front of the line

“91. 92”


Bb                   C
  There’s a party at work
                  Eb
And the manager’s twerking
                F #A
Inappropriately
               C
To top off the day
                   Eb
Another train is delayed
            
It’s a catastrophy


Dm                  Eb
  Christmas time is here
             Bb        F
“I’d like to spend the time
                Eb
With the ones I love so dear.”

Chorus:
Bb                    F 
  I’m tryn’a find the greatest gift
      Bb      F   Bb
I can give my family
  Eb               C                F  G
I don’t have time, there’s only one of me


        Eb                  F          
Tell me how do people do it all
     Eb           F
I’ll never get it done
   Eb               F
If only there was a way to be
   Eb            F
In two places at once


Bb            C
  If I wasn’t alone
                Eb
What if I had a clone?
                        F Bb
I could do so much more!
                  C
It would all be a breeze
                   Eb    
With a couple more mes

I’d have time galore!

Chorus:
Bb                 F
  I wanna find the greatest gift
      Bb      F   Bb
I can give my family
    Eb                 F             Bb
The greatest gift that I can give is me


C                      Dm
 Now I can be with the boss
                   F
And empty out my inbox
               G C
Simultaneously
           C       F
Leaving me time to spend

With my family and friends
                C Dm
Where I wanna be


                 G
I wanna find the greatest gift
      C       G   Am
I can give my family
    F                  G             C
The greatest gift that I can give is me

Repeat -and improvise-:
        Dm       G
I wanna find the greatest gift
      C       G   Am
I can give my family
    F                  G             C     
The greatest gift that I can give is me
