A augmentedA   E minorEm   D MajorD   A augmentedA


Verse 1:
A augmentedA       E minorEm
I don't know how love
D MajorD       E MajorE
could do this to me
A augmentedA       E minorEm      D MajorD     E MajorE
I've waited and waited for someone I never see
E minorEm     A minorAm         E minorEm        A minorAm
But I'm so sentimental and I'm so hopeful you'll be here
D MajorD          E MajorE         A augmentedA
So here I am every year, every Christmas (yeah)

Verse 2:
A augmentedA      E minorEm     D MajorD      E MajorE
I've wished for you in my heart and in my head
A augmentedA      E minorEm     D MajorD      E MajorE
And I got my answer that first moment that we met
A minorAm          E MajorE        E minorEm
And, oh yes, I believed you as you told me, as you said
D MajorD         E MajorE     A augmentedA
You'd be here every year, every Christmas


Chorus:
D MajorD        A augmentedA     D MajorD    A augmentedA
There must be a lesson for me to learn
A augmentedA        E minorEm     E MajorE      A minorAm
If you don't trust in love, you'll get nothing in return
D MajorD        A augmentedA       D MajorD      A augmentedA
Why should I be lonely? Don't tell me it's fine (or right?)
A augmentedA               D MajorD         E MajorE
I have my pride, but I'd rather be with you tonight


Verse:
A augmentedA      E minorEm   D MajorD     E MajorE   A augmentedA
So much emotion, it's driving me mad, yeah
   E minorEm         D MajorD          E MajorE
But I'll take my chances with these feelings that I have
A minorAm          E MajorE     E minorEm
And I'll come back to this same corner where we met
D MajorD       E MajorE         A augmentedA
And I'll be here every year, every Christmas

Chorus:
 D MajorD             A augmentedA       D MajorD
Mere words can't explain the pain and the fear
 A augmentedA      E minorEm            A minorAm       A augmentedA
'Cause, oh, I wonder, yes I wonder are you gonna leave me standing here?
D MajorD     A augmentedA      D MajorD        A augmentedA
Today's almost over but I don't wanna leave
A augmentedA            D MajorD      E MajorE
Has my heart made a fool out of me? Aaand


Verse:
A augmentedA         E minorEm       D MajorD      E MajorE
My friends gather 'round me with holiday cheer, yeah
A augmentedA         E minorEm        D MajorD      E MajorE
They say to forget you, to let you go 'cause you're not here
A minorAm          E MajorE     E minorEm
Well, I can't keep explaining what they'll never understand
D MajorD      E MajorE        A augmentedA
And why I'm here every year, every Christmas
D MajorD      E MajorE        A augmentedA
I return every year, every Christmas


Outro:
D MajorD      E MajorE           A augmentedA    A minorAm
I come here every year, every Christmas
