Em9             D       G    Bm/G  Em
I knitted you a hat all blue and   gold
Em9                    D        G  Bm/G     Em
To keep your ears warm from the Binghamton cold.
Em9                     D  G  Bm/G Em
It was my first one and it was too small.
   C        G          D            G                Em9  D  G  Bm/G
It didn't fit you at all, but you wore it just the same.

Em9                  D       G    Bm/G  Em
I remember the first time we danced.
Em9                  D           G    Bm/G  Em
I remember tunneling through the snow like  ants.
Em9                    D   G Bm/G  Em
What I don't recall is why I said,
   C              G             D    G        Em9
"I simply can't sleep in this tiny bed with you anymore.".

Em9             D       G    Bm/G  Em
So it's Christmas time, it's been three years.
Em9             D       G    Bm/G  Em
And someone else is knitting things for your ears.
Em9             D       G    Bm/G  Em
I have come to learn I'll only see you 
   C        G     D             G             C9
interrupting my dreams at night, and that's alright. 
           G                   C9                  G
And that's alright. And that's alright. And that's alright.

And it's alright. And it's alright. And it's alright.
          C9                          G
(And it's alright.) We were seventeen again together.
          Am                          Em9
