Ben Folds – Lonely Christmas Eve (Guitar)

Am
I'm not so bad

Am/G
I just hate to see 

Fmaj7
a good time had

C           Esus4 E
By everyone but me.

Dm             Esus4 E
On this lonely Christmas Eve

Dm
I hear them up and down

Esus4           E
And up and down the street.

F     E           Am
Noise noise noise noise.

F     E                Am
How I hate their happy noise.

C
There's only one thing I hate more

G
Come to think of it.

Am             Dm
And that's the people who keep

F E (quick down strums)
Making it.

F     E           Am
Feast feast feast feast.

F       E                 Am
They'll have more than anyone could ever eat.

C                          G
Me, I'm stuck here with my cream of wheat.

Am             Dm
There's no one here to feast with me

F       E                Am
On this lonely Christmas Eve.

C                           Dm
Don't they know I'm up here all alone

F                    C
In my cave up in the hills?

C                          G
How I wish that this would go away,

Am            Dm
This dreadful holiday

F              E
That they call Christmas day.

C                           Dm
When they're done with all their Christmas noise

F                     C
And they've had their Christmas feast

C                        G
Just when I think that I might finally 

Am                  Dm
Get a moments peace they start to 

F     E        Am
Sing sing sing sing.

F        E         Am
Now I'll never get no sleep.

C                 G
I'm screaming out the window

Am           Dm
But it don't do no good.

F                      E
They sing and sing and sing

                Am
All through the neighborhood.

F    E    Am
Sing sing sing.

Dm
They take their little break and then

C              G
They do it all again.

F      E      Am
It's a lonely Christmas Eve.
