Maybe Baby (New Year's Day)
Tabbed by Jessica Kuligowski
This is my first tab, because I couldn't find one anywhere. It sounds right to me
but I don't guarantee 100% accuracy.
I use DDUDUD for the strum pattern in the verses and chorus, strum and let ring on the bridge.
Tuning: Standard
Capo: None
Intro:
Every Christmas I come back to this town
I come looking through some lost and found
Wondering if you're still hanging around down here
With the holiday lights they line these streets
Where I once loved you and you once loved me
I'm sorry, it just gets to me
I wonder if I called up your house
If your mama would let you out?
CHORUS
Maybe, baby
I'll see you this Christmas, what do you say
Or maybe, baby
I'll see you on New Year's Day
I remember your eyes with the snow outside
You said, "This place always looked a little better in white."
I wanna look up and see your face one more time
Feels like the clock stopped ticking the day that I left
I think of you and I still catch my breath
I'm sorry, you still get to me
I wonder if you'll be going out
There's only one party in this town
Maybe, baby
I'll see you this Christmas
I hope and pray
Or maybe, baby
I'll see you on New Year's Day
BRIDGE
Baby, it's so strange being back here again
I keep running into all of our old friends
This whole town ringing in one more year
I don't wanna let this feeling disappear
I pray that you might be here tonight
And there you were standing, shining underneath that light
Screaming at the ball on TV, counting down
Streamers and papers piling up on the ground
Baby, did you come here alone?
Are you maybe looking for someone?
To kiss you?
God, I've missed you
Maybe, baby, we didn't get Christmas
But if you stay
Or maybe, baby
We could have New Year's Day
