Christmas Is the Time to Say "I Love You"

The Essential Billy Squier

Billy Squier (born May 12, 1950, in Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts) is a rock musician. Squier had a string of arena rock and power ballad hits in the 1980s. He is probably best known for the song &quot;The Stroke&quot; on his 1981 album release Don't Say No, which has been certified as Triple-Platinum by the RIAA. Other hits include &quot;Lonely Is The Night&quot;, &quot;Everybody Wants You&quot;, &quot;Rock Me Tonite&quot; and &quot;In The Dark&quot;. Squier left the music industry in the mid-1990s, due in part to issues with his label.

(Verse)
C
You've got me runnin' baby,
                            G
You give me something way beyond revenue
C
You put the magic in me,
                         G
I feel the magic when we do what we do
    Am      F              G               Am
And Oh, now I can't do without you for too long
F             G
You're my situation


(Chorus)
Am                     F
You're my kinda lover, my kinda lover
G             Am
My kinda lover
Am              F
My kinda lover, my kinda lover
G             Am
My kinda lover

C

(Verse 2)
C
 You keep me altogether,
                         G
You take me out whenever I'm lettin' down
C
 You've the the motions baby,
                       G
I've got a notion maybe I'll stick around
Am         F               G                Am
'Cause Oh, I can't live without you for too long
F             G
I can't see a reason

(Repeat Chorus)


(Bridge)
          D                                 C
Well when you come 'round I never get down, lie across the floor
G                                      Am
I can see you comin' on me and I can't ask for more
D                                  C
Rock me sock me baby you've got me ridin' to the end
G                                  Am
Rape me shape me baby you make me, turn me on again


(Verse 3)

I want to make you feel the way that I do
Am      F                       G                 Am
And Oh, now I've been thinkin' 'bout you for so long
F                 G
Now I don't wanna lose you

My Kinda Lover

Chorus
 D                 G              D
Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
 D                 Bm                Em
Share the joys of laughter and good cheer

Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
 Bm     Em               A                    D
And a feeling that will last all through the year

Verse:
 D                G           D
On the corner carolers are singing
 D                   Bm           Em
There's a touch of magic in the air
 G               E        D  		    Bm
From grownup to minor no one could be finer
 Em              				A
Times are hard but no one seems to care
 D                 G                 D
Christmas Eve and all the world is watching
 D                 Bm                  Em
Santa guides his reindeer through the dark
 G                 E             D 	     Bm
From rooftop to chimney, from Harlem to Bimini
 Em           A			   D
They will find a way into your heart

Repeat Chorus

Solo: Repeat Chorus Chords  

 D                 G               D 
Just outside the window snow is falling
 D                Bm                   Em
But here beside the fire we share the glow
   G               E          D 
Of moonlight and brandy, sweet talk and candy
 Em               		    A
Sentiments that everyone should know
 D               G               D
Memories of the year that lays behind us
 D               Bm                Em
Wishes for the year that's yet to come
 G                E              D 			Bm
And it stands to reason that good friends in season

 Em              A               D
Make you feel that life has just begun


Repeat Chorus

 
  G                    E          D			     Bm
So when spirits grow lighter and hopes are shinin' brighter
 Em                        A          D
Then you know that Christmas time is here

C   
Jaja, okay okay
                  F
Ya sé qué pasa aquí
   A#                            C
Encuentras la grandeza frente a ti
             C
Y no sabes bien qué sentir
       F            A#                      C
Es adorable, que jamás los humanitos cambiarán
           C       F
Despierta ya, oye bien, 
           A#                   C
este como ves es Maui, de verdad
             C                F
Sé que como yo no encuentras dos
        A#          C
Lo que miras es un semi Dios

[Coro 1]
Am         F           C
  Yo solo sé decir de nada
        E7               Am
Por el mar, el cielo, el sol
                F            C
No hay de que agradecer, de nada
     E7                    C
Soy sólo un ordinario semi yo

[Estrofa 2]
C                                F  
Hey, ¿qué fortachón el cielo elevó?
                        A#
Cuando eras de esta altura, éste
C                  C
  Si la noche enfrió, 
                  F
¿quién fue quien fuego te llevó?
       A#          
¿Qué, alguien me nombró? 
C              C       F
  Oh, yo sólo lazo el sol
          A#                    C
De nada, para estirar tu diversión
          C       F
Brisa yo hago soplar, de nada, 
   A#           C
y así tus velas elevar

[Coro 2]
Am        F            C
  Yo sólo sé decir de nada, 
        E7                  Am
por las islas que traje del mar
              F                  C
No ruegues jamás, nunca más, de nada
         E7                     Am
¡Ha! Genial es mi manera de servir, 
    F
de nada, 
    C
de nada

[Parte Rap]
C
De nada dudes ya
Hey, honestamente te explicaré 
de natural modo cada fenómeno
El mar, el sol, el gas, 
oh, ese es Maui hablando de más
Anguilas que, yo las enterré, 
de la palmera los cocos creé
Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy
Am
  El tapiz que en mi piel se ve, 
F
  es el mapa de lo que gané
C
  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos
E7
  Ve al pequeñín mini Maui nomás zapateando,
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ¡Hey!

[Coro 3]
Am          F              C
  Yo sólo puedo decir, de nada (de nada)
           E7              Am
Por el mundo especial que doy
                 F           C
No hay de que agradecer, de nada (de nada)
    E7                     Am
De nada hablaré, que ya me voy
          F            C
Te toca a ti decir de nada (de nada)
       E7             Am
Pues quiero esa barca ya
             F          C
Muy lejos navegaré, de nada (de nada)
       E7               Am
Pues Maui nada sabe de nadar
              F                 C  F C
(De nada) De nada (De nada) de nada

To carry love, to carry children of our own

You Make It Real

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?

It Ain't Me

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness

...
