[Verse]
D               G
10 Christmases ago

Bm              A
how were we to know

         D
that the cold will be freezing

      G
the world would be white

    Bm           A      G
and no one is leaving presents tonight

D                  G
That word has been hushed

Bm              A
it's almost a joke

     D
The idea of Christmas

      G
somewhere became dumb

      Bm      A           G
Now December is just another sad month
[Pre-Chorus]
D              G
Somewhere in winter misery

Bm              A
People still dream secretly

      G               D
Of a time they used to know

     Bm                      D
When people would smile at snow
[Chorus]
            D                           G
There were sweeties and chocolates and toys and lights

Bm                        A
Carrots and cookies for Santa tonight

D                                 G
Hot chocolate and crackers and family smiles

Bm                            A7
Laughter with loved ones we haven't seen in a while

D                          G
Bad jokes and brandy and music and games

Bm                               A
Watching old movies while the fireplace fades

D                             G
Jumpers and cinnamon and glittery trees

       Bm          A          G
Oh, remember how good it could be

        Bm          A            G
Yeah, remember how good it could be
[Verse]
D             G
So people plod on

Bm                    A
with their everyday lives

         D
You might catch a glimpse

              G
if you're walking past a dump

            Bm            A        G
The slight sparkle of tinsel covered in mud

            D               G
but some are sick of this grey

    Bm              A
They form a plan, they say

        D
we'll bring back Christmas

       G
We'll put on a show

Bm             A           G
Sure we'll be laughed at, but we all know
[Pre-Chorus]
D                G
Somewhere in winter misery

Bm              A
We all still dream secretly

      G              D
Of a time we used to know

  Bm                         D
When people would smile at snow
[Chorus]
            D                            G
There were sweeties and chocolates and toys and lights

Bm                          A
Carrots and cookies for Santa tonight

D                                 G
Hot chocolate and crackers and family smiles

Bm                            A7
Laughter with loved ones we haven't seen in a while

D                         G
Bad jokes and brandy and music and games

Bm                                 A
Watching old movies while the fireplace fades

D                            G
Jumpers and cinnamon and glittery trees

      Bm          A           G
Oh, remember how good it could be

        Bm          A            G
Yeah, remember how good it could be
[Verse]
D                            G
So they gathered all they could

Bm                        A
It wasn't much but it would do

          D
When the sun rose on Christmas

         G
and the snowy day begun

Bm                  A          G
For the first time in years, carols were sung

D                G
First people chuckled

Bm                           A
then their eyes filled with tears

           D
Soon the whole world was singing

    G
Church bells were ringing

Bm              A          G
How have we missed out on all of these years?
[Pre-Chorus]
D                   G
Now somewhere in winter misery

Bm                      A
Old excitement makes people happy

     G           D
And now they all know

       Bm                   D
That people will smile at snow
[Chorus]
               D                           G
Cause there's sweeties and chocolates and toys and lights

Bm                        A
Carrots and cookies for Santa tonight

D                                 G
Hot chocolate and crackers and family smiles

Bm                            A7
Laughter with loved ones we haven't seen in a while

D                          G
Bad jokes and brandy and music and games

Bm                            A
Watching old movies while the fireplace fades

D                           G
Jumpers and cinnamon and glittery trees

    Bm         A         G
Oh, look how good it can be

      Bm        A          G
Yeah, look how good it can be
