The Widow down the street copes with the recent loss of her husband, who always had the best Christmas light display.

C Cm G D/f# Em
V1: The phone started ringing way too early
To be anything but bad news
Now they whisper your name quiet shaky voices
Neighbors met in the street at dawn
Glancing down at your empty house
Now we whisper your name
And search our hearts for something
Am D Am D
Link: More That makes it easier More… just not enough
V2: It’s just a string of Christmas lights
that won’t get hung up this year
Did you believe in something? (x2)
It’s just another accident they’re sweeping up the glass
But if you believed in something, believed in something
More.. That makes it easier. More… just not enough
Em C Em C G Dstop
Chorus: Now a quiet cul-de-sac just got quieter
A quiet cul-de-sac just got darker. Somehow colder. Lonelier.
V3,4: C Cm G Em
V3 See the widow at her mailbox
Her hope trails off as she sleepwalks
Smile, but don’t talk. What could you say ^anyway?
Just put some distance between yourself and her sad tragedy.
But if you believed in Something…Believe in something more.
That makes it easier. More… just not enough
(Chorus 2)When his house was decorated we’d go running to
A thousand Christmas lights we go dancing through
But it’s dark this year, Bob’s not here.
V4: (C) It’s just a string of Christmas lights
(Cm) Boxed up and Packed away tonight
(G) They’ll never ever See the light of (Em) Day
(C)Lost down at the mailbox.
(Cm) See the widow as she sleepwalks through a(G)nother day.
I wonder why (D)some are saved.
