When Christmas Comes Around

Intro

G
Winter days, turn to grey, put the headlights on
G/B                                                    C9
Snow and rain, wiped away, I can't keep my eyes on the road
D/A                     G
When I'm driving home, I got tears, running down, burning in my
              G/B
eyes and you and I, heated by the flicker of a lighter
C9
Oh, and I let it go
D/A    G/B   D/F#   C9
But I just got here
                                   D/A
I know it's been a while darling, dear
        G/B                           C9
There's been a change in the time of year
                           D/A
When the frost bites the snow
                            G
And Christmas comes around
G
For the down and outs
D/F#
And broken lay-abouts
C9
What will they do now?
D/A
When Christmas comes around
G
We were so in love
D/F#
Till I messed it up
C9
But who will love me now?
D/A                           G
When Christmas comes around
G
Family asking me, why I let you go
G/B
Telling me, its a mistake
I'm telling them that I know
C9
But I can't call you
     G
Your inner space, better place
Loving on a new man
G/B
I don't blame you at all
                          C9
You did all that you can, I know
D/A   G/B   D/F#   C9
But I just got here
                                  D/A
I know it's been a while darling, dear
                            G/B    D/F#   C9
There's been a change in the time of year
                          D/A

                             G

When Christmas comes around
C9          G            D/A
And I'm sick of all the songs
G           D/A         C9
The Christmas sing-alongs
G                  D/A
The merry and the cheer
       G                D/A          C9
'Cause I don't feel like that this year
          G               D/A
All the bells are all in sync
        G      D/A        C9
And my soul is on the brink
          G           D/A
So I'll have myself a drink, and sing
When Christmas comes around
G
For the down and outs
D/F#
And broken lay-abouts
C9
What will they do now?
