          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 Break] 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
