INTRO
Fmaj7 Gm7 C9
I thought I'd seen all the lights
F Am
And sung all the songs
Dm Gm7 Eb Gm C F9
I felt the holiday Lasted a bit too long
Gm7 C7
I never shed any tears
Am7 D7
When Christmas was through
Gm7 C7 Bbm F
Until I celebrated one with you
Bb C
And now
VERSE 1:
Fmaj7 Gm7 Am7 Fm7
I cry the day that I take the tree down
Gm7 C Am Dm7 Gm7 Bb C
I want the season To last all year round
Fmaj7 Gm7 Am7 Fm7
When I'm surrounded by these memories
Gm7 C7 Fmaj7 Gm7 F
It's almost like you're here with me
CHORUS:
Bb Bbm Am7
It's strange how things are changed When touched by love
Gm7 Bbm Gm7 Bb C7
We treasure things we never thought much of
VERSE 2:
Fmaj7 Gm7 Am7 Fm7
I cry the day that I take the tree down
Gm7 C Am Dm7 Gm7 Bb C
I want the season To last all year round
Fmaj7 Gm7 Am7 Fm7
And I'm dreaming of Christmases when
Gm7 C7 Fmaj7 Gm7 F
We'll be together again
CHORUS:
Bb Bbm Am7
It's strange how things are changed When touched by love
Gm7 Bbm Gm7 Bb C7
We treasure things we never thought much of
