G
This ain’t a breakup song
Am
It’s not about what went wrong
D D7
It won’t drag on and on
G
It’s just a Christmas song
G
And it’s not a love song
Am
Heard faintly across the restaurant
D D7
As sure as the day is long
G
It’s just a Christmas song
G Am
So when it’s getting close but feels so far.
D G
Silver Bells and credit cards
Em Am
And it hits you in your heart
D G
You’re not ready yet to let it come and let it go
Em
And let another year start
Am
And you feel like you’re doing it wrong
D G
Well here’s a Christmas song
G
And it’s not a wedding song
Am
So no finger-guns or singing along
D D7
By the time the turkey’s on
G
You’ll be sick of this Christmas song
G Am
It always comes so fast and hurts a bit
D G
want to make it last and feel all of it
Em Am D
It doesn’t feel like the way I remember it
G
Maybe that’s just it, the hardest bits are part of it
Em
Maybe that’s just Christmas, kid
Am
Sorta sweet and kinda sad
D G
In the middle distance where life always lands
Em Am
And it hits you like an avalanche
D G
That we just want to feel the glow again, the glow
Em
again, the glow again
Am
It’s not a myth or some cosmic test
D G
It’s just some people out here doing their best
Em Am
To make it special for the kids and that
D G
They’re not ready yet to let it come and let it pass
Em
And let another year end
Am
Merry Christmas, I love you
D G
Never question that
Em Am D
Safe to say I might be doing it wrong
G
But here’s a Christmas song
