[Verse 1]
G
Winter days, turn to grey, put the headlights on...
D Em
Snow and rain, wiped away, I can't keep my eyes on the road
When I'm driving home,
G
I got tears, running down
D
Burning in my eyes and you and I
Heated by the flicker of a lighter
Em
Oh, and I let it go
[Pre-Chorus]
C
But I just got here
G D
I know it's been a while darling, dear
Em D C
There's been a change in the time of year
G D
When the frost bites the snow
G
And Christmas comes around
[Chorus]
G D
For the down and outs
C
And broken lay-abouts
Em
What will they do now?
D G
When Christmas comes around
D
We were so in love
C
Till I messed it up
Em
But who will love me now
D G
When Christmas comes around
[Verse 2]
G
Family asking me, why I let you go
D
Telling me, its a mistake
I'm telling them that I know
Em
But I can't call you
G
Your inner space, better place
Loving on a new man
D
I don't blame you at all
Em
You did all that you can, I know
[Pre-Chorus]
C
But I just got here
G D
I know it's been a while darling, dear
Em D C
There's been a change in the time of year
G D
When the frost bites the snow
G
And Christmas comes around
[Chorus]
G D
For the down and outs
C
And broken lay-abouts
Em
What will they do now?
D G
When Christmas comes around
D
We were so in love
C
Till I messed it up
Em
But who will love me now
D C
When Christmas comes around
[Bridge]
G D
And, I'm sick of all the songs
Em D C
The Christmas sing-alongs
G D
The merry and the cheer
C
But I don't feel like that this year
G D
All the bells are all in sync
Em D C
And my soul is on the brink
G D
So I'll have myself a drink, and sing
When Christmas comes around
[Chorus]
G D
For the down and outs
C
And broken lay-abouts
Em
What will they do now?
D G
When Christmas comes around
D
We were so in love
C
Till I messed it up
Em
But who will love me now
D C
When Christmas comes around
Em
Will you love me now
D
When Christmas comes around
