F  Em  Dm  C
          F            Em         Dm       C
Well, the family drove in for the holidays
     F               C             Dm             C
From three different timezones and five different states
         F            Em       Dm  G
And this Christmas is going to be
           C
A nightmare


❄ Verse 1:
         C
Well, my brother-in-law hit an 8-point buck
F                                     G
And threw it in the back of his truck
                             C       G
And told the children it was Rudolph
    C
Now they're all cryin', he's just laughin'
   F
My wife ran out and said, "What just happened "
    G                                  C
And I just went inside and poured some Smirnoff

❄ Chorus:
          F              G
'Cause we put up a tree, string up the lights
C           Am
So much for silent night
F              G               C
Never mind the eggnog, pass me that fifth
F               G              C                 Am            F
Between now and New Year's Eve when these people finally leave
            G              F
Me and that Christmas tree
           G        C
We're both gonna be lit


❄ Verse 2:
C
Well, we ran out of Pepto and clean underwear
  F
Diana cooked the turkey medium-rare
    G                                 C   G
But I'll say this, for once it wasn't dry
          C
Now we're handin' out gifts and it's gettin' romantic
F
Aunt Linda just got a handmade ceramic
G                                      C
Ashtray from Uncle Jay and it made her cry


❄ Chorus:
   F              G
We put up a tree, string up the lights
C                          Am
This time of year, there's nothin' like
F                    G           C
The smell of pumpkin pie and cigarettes
F               G              C                 Am            F
Between now and New Year's Eve when these people finally leave
            G              F              G      F
Me and that Christmas tree, the plastic nativity
                 G                  C
And Aunt Linda's Camel are gonna be lit


❄ Bridge:
F                       Em
There's always cases of COVID now
    Dm                  C
And cases of cold Natty Light
F                       Em            Am
Someone always Ubers to Christmas Eve church
       D                    G
'Cause they're too tipsy to drive
                                     C
When the sweet sounds of giggles and laughter
G                        C
Turn into spoiled little screams
G                  C
Every year, I am reminded
    D               G
Why dry January's a thing


Instrumental ❄ Bridge:
F  G


Out-❄ Chorus:
C
So much for silent night
         F               G               C
It's the sound of little angels throwing fits
F               G             C                  Am            G F
Between now and New Year's Eve when these people finally leave
            G
Me and that Christmas tree
    F                             G
Oh, no, there's some bulbs burned out I see
    F                G               C
But other than them, we are gonna be lit
