Intro: Em C*  (x2) 

Verse: 1 
Em                   
Sure, it's nice to open a gift 
       B               C 
That's tied up with a perfect bow 
Em                Bm 
But the greatest present of all 
       Em       Am 
Was given to me long ago 
      Em          G 
It's something I would never trade 
         Em            C 
It's the family that we've made 

 
            D      C 
'Cause when we're together 
       G              
I have everything on my list 
                   C 
And when we're together 
       G    D  
I have all I wished 
Em              G 
All around the Christmas tree 
             Bm           C 
There'll be dreams coming true 
G                C 
But when we're together 
G           D       G 
Then my favorite gift is you

Verse: 2 
               Bm 
I would travel miles and miles 
Em                 G 
And I would follow any star 
C             G 
I'd go almost any place 
    C            D 
If it's any place you are 

 
 G                  C 
'Cause when we're together 
      Em      D 
I'll forever feel at home 
     G           C 
And when we're together 
         D     
We'll be safe and warm 
Em             D 
Doesn't matter where we are 
Bm          C 
If you're there with me 
 G                  C 
'Cause when we're together 
G         
That's my favorite place to be 

Instrumental: G Em Em G* C D C G 


                     C 
'Cause when we're together 
Em             D 
It's a holiday every night 
         G       C 
And when we're together 
         G       D 
Then the season's bright 
Em               Bm 
I don't need the bells to ring 
                    C 
I'll know when it's here 
            G          
'Cause when we're together 
              D 
I could stay forever 
           G 
And when we're together 
         D              G 
It's my favorite time of year
