[Intro] G D/F# Em D C C/B Am G [Verse]
          G       D/F#     Em      D                        
When you find for some sad reason

           C      C/B       Am     D
you're alone this Christmas season

        G       D/F#      Em       D       
And the joys of home grow dimmer

            C        C/B     Am    D
just like a memory's distant glimmer

          Em                 G
When your love and you are parted

            C              Am
and all Christmas cheer departed

      G                 D
It's sad I say, when you're away,

     C       C/B   Am   G           
from love on Christmas Day
[Chorus]
Am          D 
Why the sadness (gotta move on)

Am                    D                 
When there should be gladness (keep moving on)

Am              D                  G D/F# Em D
All you can do is keep moving on

Am          D 
Time is mending (you gotta move on)

Am                D                 
Pain soon has its ending (keep moving on)

Am          D                      G D/F# Em D C C/B Am G
Know in your heart it soon will be gone
[Verse]
        G             D/F#     Em      D              
Whether cruising the lonely highway

           C          C/B          Am     D
or jetting miles high through some skyway

            G           D/F#      Em       D    
When you've reached your destination

         C       C/B      Am     D
awaiting baggage at the station

         Em              G
When you see some happy greeters

        C               Am
it can make your bitter sweeter

      G                  D
But still for real, it's sad to feel

C        C/B   Am   G     
alone on Christmas Day
[Chorus]
Am          D 
Why the sadness (gotta move on)

Am                    D                 
When there should be gladness (keep moving on)

Am              D             G D/F# Em D
All you can do is keep moving on

Am          D 
Time is mending (you gotta move on)

Am                D                 
Pain soon has its ending (keep moving on)

Am          D                      G D/F# Em D C C/B Am G
Know in your heart it soon will be gone
