Intro: C F Am G
C F
Snow is falling Christmas Eve
C F
Lights are coming on up and down the street
C F
The sound of carols fills the air
C F
And people rushing home, families everywhere
F C
Putting candles in the windows
G Am
Lights upon the tree
F C
But there's no laughter in this house
G
Not like there used to be
F C
There's just a million little memories
G Am
That remind me you're not here
F G C
It's just a different kind of Christmas this year
F
C F
In the evening fires glow
C F
Dancing underneath the mistletoe
C F
A letter left from Santa Claus
C F
Won't be the same this year in this house because
F C
There's one less place set at the table
G Am
One less gift under the tree
F C G
And a brand new way to take their place inside of me
F C
I'm unwrapping all these memories
G Am
Fighting back the tears
F G C
It's just a different kind of Christmas this year
F Am G
Am
There's voices in the driveway
G
Families right outside the door
C F
And we'll try to make this Christmas like the ones we've had before
F G
As we gather round the table, I see joy on every face
Am F G
And I realize what's still alive is the legacy you made
F C
It's time to put the candles in the windows,
G Am
The lights upon the tree
F C G
It's time to fill this house with laughter like it used to be
F C
Just because you're up in heaven,
G Am
Doesn't mean you're not near
F G Am G F
It's just a different kind of Christmas
F G C
It's just a different kind of Christmas this year
