Intro:

G  D


Verse 1:
    G
The kids are sending letters
       D
To the top of the world
    Em
And tearing paper rings
             Cmaj7
To count the days
         G
Watching Frosty on the TV
          D
With that little boy and girl
     Em
I'll try to fake some cheer
                 Cmaj7
While this heart breaks

Pre-Chorus:
                  G                           D
'Cause he wants a new game and a 10 speed his very first guitar
            Em                          Cmaj7
She wants a Frozen plastic castle and a swing set in the yard


Chorus:
                G
But Santa had a rough year
                  D
So there won't be much here
     Em                                   C
Yeah that's the kinda news that's hard to break
           G
Under that Charlie Brown tree
            D
It's mostly dust and dead pine leaves
           Em
They can't sleep they're so excited
          C
While I'm lying here awake
                   G          D
'Cause Santa had a rough year


Verse 2:
   G
He picked up every shift
              D
Swallowed his pride and called his old man
          Em
When it's quiet on the rooftop
           C
Yeah those kids won't understand


Pre-Chorus:
                      G                              D
'Cause they're on the nice list yeah he said so they met him at the mall
          Em                                  C
When they don't get what they want how do you say it ain't their fault


Chorus:
                  G
Cause Santa had a rough year
                  D
So there won't be much here
     Em                                   C
Yeah that's the kinda news that's hard to break
           G
Under that Charlie Brown tree
            D
It's mostly dust and dead pine leaves
           Em
They can't sleep they're so excited
          C
While I'm lying here awake
                   G          D
'Cause Santa had a rough year
                 Em         C
Yeah Santa had a rough year


Bridge:
         D
Yeah you can't wrap up the truth
             Em
Or tie those hard times with a bow
               C
I hope they'll still believe in him
C
Even though


[Out-Chorus]
                  G

           G
Under that Charlie Brown tree
            D
It's mostly dust and dead pine leaves
           Em
They can't sleep they're so excited
          C
While I'm lying here awake
                   G
'Cause Santa had a rough year
  D
