Verse 1:

E           A
I’ve been traveling
     D              E                A
For as long as I remember I’ve been moving
      D              E            A
And I missed so many holidays at home
            D              E            A
Spent last Christmas in an airport bar alone
   D     E
Ooh, ooh

          A
But this year
           D                 E                A
I haven’t moved since early April, I’ve just been here
     D              E                   A
Observing words and thoughts until they disappear
         D                  E                A
I’m so road sick, darling, I would meet you anywhere
   D     E
Ooh, ooh

Pre-Chorus:

C#m
It used to be
                E
That there was nowhere I’d rather stay
      D
But today

Chorus:

D
I wish I was anywhere
           A               D
But home for the holidays
E                A       D
Home for the holidays

Verse 2:

E            A
Snow’s been falling here
     D                  E               A
I’ll trade your plastic Rudolf for an ice cold beer
     D                  E
Off the coast of Santa Clara
A
I need to get outta here
             D        E
I wish I was anywhere

Bridge:

F#m
I wish that all the roses were blooming
          F#m        E         A
I wish we all had somebody to love
F#m
I wish we would open our eyes
    A            E      A
And march on and on and on and on
F#m
I wish you peace
D
I wish you
A
Peace

Chorus:

D
I wish I was anywhere
           A               D
But home for the holidays
E                A       D
Home for the holidays
