  			verse 1 
 C      G            C 
Comin' back from the country 
        Am            G     F 
Full of good food and lousy beer 
      Am         G           C            F 
This winter's so dry and the dirt road so dusty 
        Am      G       F                  C 
At the lightest fall of rain, the bacteria bloom 


 
          F            C          G 
You don't have to be alone to be lonesome 
     Am   G     F 
It's easy to forget 
     F             C              G                 F 
The sadness comes crashin' like a brick through the window 
         Am           G          C 
And it's Christmas so no one can fix it 


verse 2 
C        G    C               Am    G       F 
Tethered to a table with that happy holiday crowd 
         Am      G 
And it's anchors aweigh 
C                 F 
Looks like smooth sailin' 
        Am     G       F                    C 
But the merest hint of waves could capsize you 

 
          F            C          G 
You don't have to be alone to be lonesome 
     Am   G     F 
It's easy to forget 
     F             C              G                 F 
The sadness comes crashin' like a brick through the window 
         Am           G          C 
And it's Christmas so no one can fix it 


Bridge 
    F             C   G 
The desire for annihilation 
      Am        G        F 
Is as common as it is unkind 
         F            C            G 
And it's hard to recognize the situation 
            F           C         G           F 
When you're desperately tryin' to have a good time 

 
          F          C            G 
You don't have to be alone to be lonesome 
     Am   G     F 
It's easy to forget 
     F             C              G                 F 
The sadness comes crashin' like a brick through the window 
         Am           G          F 
And it's Christmas so no one can fix it 


Outro 
           Am 
Yeah, it's Christmas 
    G            C 
So no one can fix it
