Chords

                      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
