Em  C  Em  C

Em                C         G
Christmas is so freaking annoying
     Am            C                B
The ornaments and cards are all so fake
 Em              C          G
Candy canes all taste like ten-year-old toothpaste
     Am           C                B
And gingerbread gives me a raging stomachache

Em                C                    G
The carols are so stale and relentless
Am                                  C             B
They carry through the air like the smell of something bad
                   C                 D
But the one thing I look forward to
        G     F   Em
This time of year
C                 D#            G   A
Is spending Christmas with my dad
C                  D#            C  Em  C
    Spending Christmas with my dad

(Em  E)

Em                C                  G
He comes in with his arms full of presents
Am                      C                   B   B7
His smile is wide and his hair is full of snow
Em              C                  G
He pulls out a guitar and lays down a classic bar
Am                C                 Em  G  D
Of an underrated song from long ago
             Em      C                G
And when he sings my heart flies wide open
Am             C           B
I'm happy and
I guess, a little sad
C                 D               G              E
Cause he doesn't visit me, no I just watch him on TV
C       D#                            G
That's how I spend Christmas with my dad
A                C   D#
Merry Christmas
Daddy!
                      G
That's Christmas with my dad

C                           G
I've DVRed his shows since I was nine
C5                        G
I memorized each song and every line
A
When Mom's not home
I turn them on and revel in the sound
C                             Cm      D             B
It's what the house would be like if Dad had stayed around
C                    Cm          G
I'd ask him bout the cities that he toured
C         Cm                G
He'd show me how to play a 7th Chord
A
It sucks to only know your dad from specials on TV
C                          Cm                            B
I wish he thought I was as special as his specials are to me

(Em  C  Em  C)

                                G
Christmas is so freaking depressing
Am             C             B
Commercialism, suicides, and snow
Em          C                           G
Mom goes on defense, and Bob's just kind of dense
Am                C             B
They're the only family that I know
Em                   C           G
But tomorrow when I turn on the TV
Am                   C               B7
I'll see the family that I could've had
           C            D            G       F       E
It's the one thing I look forward to this time of year
C        D#              G
Spending Christmas with my dad
A               Bm
Merry Christmas
Daddy!
Em                                B
Maybe one day he will be on this side of the TV
G                                  A
We'll make fun of the carolers and burn down the tree
C                               D      F         E
And that's the greatest present there could ever be
C            D#             Em
Dad spending Christmas with me
A                   C
Won't you be there
Daddy?
D#                F       Em
Spend your Christmas with me!

Final C  E
