[Intro]
Gmaj7 Gmaj7

[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
Help me just to pass this test of time, I wish that I was blind
Gmaj7
Strange thing to wish for but I just can’t unsee; all this misery
Cmaj7
Help me clear this fear that’s in my mind, I wish that it was lost
C Gmaj7
I can’t help but think, this world is on the brink, in my mind

[Chorus]
Cmaj7
Everything’s not lost (all is not lost)
Am Em
Cause Christmas and New Year is comin’ on strong
Cmaj7
Everything’s not lost (all is not lost)
Am Em
Cause Christmas and New Year is comin’ on strong
Cmaj7
Everything’s not lost (all is not lost)
Am Em
Cause Christmas and New Year is comin’ on strong
Em/G Am/C Am Bm Am
Good tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
Am/C Am Bm Am
Comfort and joy, comfort and joy

[Verse 2]
Cmaj7
Help me just to cover my ears, cause I don’t wanna hear
Gmaj7
Strange thing to wish for but I can’t help but hear; children in fear
C Gmaj7
Bangs from bombs that shadow bombs to tears

[Chorus]
Cmaj7
But everything’s not lost (all is not lost)
Am Em
Cause Christmas and New Year is comin’ on strong
Cmaj7
Everything’s not lost (all is not lost)
Am Em
Cause Christmas and New Year is comin’ on strong
Cmaj7
Everything’s not lost (all is not lost)
Am Em
Cause Christmas and New Year is comin’ on strong

Good tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

Comfort and joy, comfort and joy
