Verse 1: 

A                F#m 
I don't know how love 
Dmaj7            E 
could do this to me 
A                F#m 
I've waited and waited for some 
Dmaj7       E 
one I never seen 



F#sus       C#                  F#m 
But I'm so sentimental and I'm so hopeful you'll be here 
D                  E           A 
So here I am every year, every Christmas 
(yeah) 



Verse 2: 

A               F#m 
I've wished for you in my 
Dmaj7           E 
heart and in my head 
A            F#m 
And I got my answer that first 
Dmaj7          E 
moment that we met 



F#sus                   C#m             F#m 
And, oh yes, I believed you as you told me, as you said 
D                   E           A 
You'd be here every year, every Christmas 



Bridge:
 

Dmaj7                  Dmin7 
There must be a lesson for me to learn 
A                                      C#m7 
If you don't trust in love, you'll get nothing in return 
Dmaj7                   Dmin7 
Why should I be lonely? Don't tell me it's fine 
B                           D               E 
I have my pride, but I'd rather be with you tonight
