Intro
[Gmaj7]
Jingling through the neighborhood, let's ride
[D/F#]
It's Christmas magic, side by side
Verse 1
[Gmaj7]
Pajamas on, hot cocoa cups
[D/F#]
Kids in the backseat, all lit up
[Em7]
Eyes wide open, full of cheer
[Cmaj7]
Each house a wonder, year to year
Pre-Chorus
[Gmaj7]
Baby Jesus in Mary's arm
[D/F#]
Lots of colors and Christmas charm
[Em7]
reindeers' bright in neon light
[Cmaj7]
Santa waves to the kids' delight.
Chorus
[Gmaj7]
But every corner's a debate
[D/F#]
"Left or right?!" — "Oh no! Too late!"
[Em7]
Bless him, Dad, doesn't stand a chance
[Cmaj7]
In this route-less, four-wheel holiday dance
[Tag]
[Gmaj7]
It's family time — not always smooth
[D/F#]
A little wild, and full of truth
[Em7]
Each year we change, a little bit
[Cmaj7]
Some we lose and some we get
[Gmaj7]
Never perfect, but always ours
[D/F#]
Love packed tight in these four doors
[Em7]
Through tangled lights and traffic stress
[Cmaj7]
Family is our favorite type of mess!
Verse 2
[Gmaj7]
Dad's sighing loud at the detour sign
[D/F#]
Mom's rerouting for the ninetieth time
[Em7]
the music grows, together we sing
[Cmaj7]
Despite the worse, smiles we bring
[Gmaj7]
in the backseat, joy runs deep
[D/F#]
laughing at elves or falling asleep
[Em7]
And when a house lights up the sky
[Cmaj7]
Even grown-ups might whisper, "oh my"
Pre-Chorus
[Gmaj7]
The roads are long, the maps a mess
[D/F#]
Yet through it all we feel so blessed
Bridge
[Em7]
It's family time - not always smooth
[Bm7]
A little wild - but full of truth
[Cmaj7]
Each year we change a little bit
[D7]
Some we lose and some we get
[Em7]
It's rarely perfect, yet it's always right
[Bm7]
Within four doors our love is packed so tight
[Cmaj7]
Through tangled lights and traffic stress
[D7]
We find our way through the mess
[Final Chorus]
[Gmaj7]
One day we'll look back and smile
[D/F#]
At this joyful, frantic mile
[Em7]
Where laughter battled nerves and noise
[Cmaj7]
And chaos couldn't steal our joy
Outro
[Em7]
It's family time - not always smooth
[Bm7]
But every bump brings something true
[Cmaj7]
Each year we grow, a little bit
[D7]
Some we lose and some we get
[Em7]
Through all the mess and misdirection
[Bm7]
We find our hearts in shared reflection
[Cmaj7]
'Cause even fights and wrong turns bless
[D7]
Our perfect kind of Christmas mess
