Guitar chord Christmas Lights

Christmas Lights by Coldplay was released in 2010 as a Christmas single. The song discusses feelings of loneliness and longing during the Christmas season but ends on a hopeful note. The inspiration for Christmas Lights came from the band members personal feelings around the festive period, reflecting on both the struggles and magic of Christmas.
