lyrics

V1
Sometimes I’m bummed out at Christmas D G D
When it doesn’t feel like I belong here G D
I was scrolling through Amazon looking for presents G D
And I found something that gives me cheer E A

In a small town you’ve gotta stand out D G D
when everyone thinks you’re the same G D
But I’m proud to be different and I’m gonna show it G D
Big and bold and unashamed E A A7

CHORUS
Candles can bring us together G D
And you gotta go big or go home A D
And that’s why I got an inflatable G D
Eight-foot Menorah for my front lawn A D Dt

V2
My neighbor’s houses are decked out with lights
Shining in red and green
Those aren’t my colors but lighting the darkness
Is definitely my thing

But you can’t see flames in the window
when the houses are spread out this far
So I’m gonna crank up the power
and blast those lights in my yard

RPT CHORUS

BRIDGE
Chanukah is about the unexpected G D
One night’s oil lasted for eight D G D
So I’m going all out this year G G
And you’ll see it from the interstate! E A A7

SOLO

G D A D
G D E A A7

A Dozen Other Loves
by Matt Nakoa

Matt is my stablemate at Fox Run Studios and a soulful, piano-rockin' man. The sound of his album is what made me choose our shared producer, Neale Eckstein. I love Matt's music! Mya Byrne

Stay Here With Me
by Jesse Terry

Another dear friend, I play in Jesse's NYC band, so I'm biased, but...gosh, I think he's the closest thing our generation has to Jackson Browne. Mya Byrne
