Standard (EADGBE)

Everybody waits for Christmas

for me it's New Year's Day

that's gonna come and take my blues away

I'm wishing on the stars for Christmas

and hoping for a better day

when it doesn't hurt to feel this way

and everywhere there's joy around this festive time of year

but happiness has never felt so far away

Chorus

all of the bells ringing out for Christmas

I'm singing goodbye to the year before

I know that the next one will be different so much more

all of the bells ringing out for Christmas and I'm not supposed

to feel this way

but all that I want this year for Christmas is New Year's Day

it's only seven days 'till Christmas

six more 'till New Year's Day

it's not a good time to feel this way

everywhere the snow surrounds you

and melts your troubles away

I can only hope to feel the same

I know that there'll be tidings of joy this time next year

but happiness has never felt so far away

Chorus

I remember how I used to feel at Christmas
