[Intro]
| C    Csus4 C | C    Csus4 C | C    Csus4 C | C    Csus4 C | C      |

[Verse 1]
           C    Csus4 C
I wish you love
         C    Csus4 C
And happiness
          C
I guess I wish
G             C
  You all the best
           C    Csus4 C
I wish you don't
          C  Csus4 C
Do like I do
         C
And ever fall in love with
G              C
  Someone like you

[Chorus]
             F
'Cause if you feel
            C
Just like I did
               C
You'd probably walk around the block
              G    G7
Like a little kid
               C    Csus4 C
But kids don't know
              C     Csus4 C
They can only guess
            C
How hard it is
G                  C
 To wish you happiness

[Instrumental]
| C    Csus4 C | C    Csus4 C | C    Csus4 C | G       | C      |

[Verse 2]
             C    Csus4 C
I guess that love
                    C    Csus4 C
Is like a Christmas card
               C
You decorate a tree
G                    C
 You throw it in the yard
              C    Csus4 C
It decays and dies
                C    Csus4 C
And the snowmen melt
                  C
Well, I once knew love
G                  C
  I knew how love felt

[Chorus]
             F
Yeah, I knew love
          C
Love knew me

And when I walked
                 G   G7
Love walked with me
             C    Csus4 C
And I got no hate
             C     Csus4 C
And I got no pride
           C
Well, I got so much
G                  C
love that I cannot hide
           C
Yeah, I got so much
G                  C
love that I cannot hide

[Instrumental]
| C    Csus4 C | C    Csus4 C | C    Csus4 C | G       | C      |

[Verse 3]
                C     Csus4 C
Say you drive a Chevy
                C     Csus4 C
Say you drive a Ford
            C
You say you drive around the
G                      C
town till you just get bored
                     C    Csus4 C
Then you change your mind
                      C   Csus4 C
For something else to do
         C
And your heart gets bored with your
G                   C
mind and it changes you

[Chorus]
                     F
Well, it's a doggone shame
                  C
And it's an awful mess
           C
I wish you love
G                 C
 I wish you happiness
           C
I wish you love
G                 C
 I wish you happiness

[Outro]
          C    G             C
I guess I wish   you all the best
