[Intro]

[Verse 1]
F G C
I walk down the street and see a wintery wonderland
Am F C Bb
The candles in the windows and the salvation army band
C F G C
All the people wandering 'round in a sudden state of glee
Am C G Bb
But all of those people, they ain't me.
[Verse 2]
C F G C
I smell in the air pine needles fresh and new
Am C Bb
And everyone's cheeks have got a pleasant rosy hue
C F G C
They've got visions of the gifts that underneath their tree will lie
Am F C G Bb
But to that I say..,...."Not I."
[Bridge]
F G Am Bb
For I've got a secret that no one else can know
C G Am F
That keeps my temperament even during times of snow
[Chorus]
C F G
I've got the perfect present, one not wrapped up in a bow
C F G
It lifts my spirits high when I'm feeling low
C F
Others long for the holidays, yes indeed they do
C F G C
But everyday is Christmas when I'm with you
[Verse 3]
F G C
Jolly old Saint Nick and the little elves as well as Charlie Brown
Am F C Bb
All help at the holidays to keep folks from feeling down
C F G C
And people in their homes love to decorate their tree
F C Bb
But I don't need none of that, no, not me.
[Verse 4]
C F G C
Trolling the aisles at the local mega super store
Am F C Bb
I see crazy flashing gadgets on every single floor
C F G C
But I don't need that fancy stuff, no way, no surrey
Am F C Bb
Cause your love is so much better than a plasma screen TV
[Chorus]
C F G
I've got the perfect present, one not wrapped up in a bow
C F G
It lifts my spirits high when I'm feeling low
C F
Others long for the holidays, yes indeed they do
C F G F
But everyday is Christmas when I'm with you
[Verse 7]
G F
Now some might say it's unfair and severe
G C G
That I get a Christmas gift each day of the year
F G C F
To them I would say that I've no guarantee
G
But maybe one day they'll find someone as sweet as she
[Verse 8]
C F G
I've got the perfect present, one not wrapped up in a bow
C F G
She lifts my spirits high when I'm feeling low
Bb C F
Others long for the holidays, yes indeed they do
G#m C
But everyday is Christmas
F C
Yes everyday I deck the halls
F G Bb C
Everyday is Christmas when I'm with you.?
