Intro G C x4 

Verse: 
G 
Great 
             C 
Fake plastic Mistletoe 
             G 
Wrap me in a great big bow 
            C 
And tear me apart 
G 
It’s Christmas time 
               C 
So open up the flood gates 
             G 
Tell me that you’ll be late 
           C 
And rip me apart 

Pre-Chorus: 
Em                  D                           C 
Cause you say that, you say that things will be alright 
Em                   D                       C 
But I’ve heard that, I’ve heard that so many times and I know that.. 

Chorus: 
G 
It’s not Christmas if the snow don’t fall 
C 
And I’m still standing here 3 feet small 
Em 
Lose our troubles because after all 
C 
It’s Christmas time 

Verse: 
G 
Cold 
             C 
Icing on the walkways 
              G 
Slip into the games we play 
              C 
We’re falling apart 

G 
A great big house 
                   C 
That’s made out of ginger bread 
                G 
Crumbles to the ground 
               C 
We’re breaking apart 

Pre-Chorus: 
Em                 D                             C 
But you said that, you said that things would be alright 
Em                   D                       C 
But I’ve heard that, I’ve heard that so many times and I know that 


Chorus: 
G 
It’s not Christmas if the snow don’t fall 
C 
And I’m still standing here 3 feet small 
Em 
Lose our troubles because after all 
C 
It’s Christmas time 

Bridge: 
G 
And I’ve been waiting for you to come 
         C 
And it’s hard cause I feel so alone 
           Em 
And I just want you to come home 

G 
And I’ve been waiting for you to come 
         C 
And it’s hard cause I feel so alone 
           Em 
And I just want you to come home 

Chorus x2 (Repeat twice): 
G 
It’s not Christmas if the snow don’t fall 
C 
And I’m still standing here 3 feet small 
Em 
Lose our troubles because after all 
C 
It’s Christmas time 


G 
It’s Christmas time again 
    C 
And all your friends, all your friends 
    Em 
Are smiling 
C                    G (to end song) 
It’s Christmas time
