(Bb5)Win ter days turn to grey, put the head (Fsus4)lights on, (Gm7)snow and rain wiped a way, I can’t keep my (Fsus4)eyes on the (Ebsus2)road
when I’m driv ing home.
(Bb5)I got tears run ning down, burn ing in my (Fsus4)eyes and (Gm7)you and I heat ed by the flick er of a (Fsus4)light er and (Ebsus2)glow,
and I let it go.
But I just got (Eb)here, I know it’s (Bb)been a while dar ling, (F)dear, there’s been a (Gm7)change in the (F)time of (Eb)year,
when the (Bb)frost bites the snow,
and Christ mas comes a round.
For the down and outs
and bro ken lay a bouts,
what will they do now,
when (F)Christ mas comes a round?
We were so in love
till I messed it up,
but who will love me now,
when (F)Christ mas comes a round?
(Bb5)Fam i ly ask ing me why I let (Fsus4)you go, (Gm7)tell ing me it’s a mis take.
I’m tell ing them that (Bb)I know but (Ebsus2)I can’t (Fsus4)call you.
Your (Bb5)in ner space, bet ter place, lov ing on a (Fsus4)new man, (Gm7)I don’t blame you at all, you did all that (Fsus4)you can, I (Eb2)know.

’cause I don’t (Gm7)feel like that this year.
All the bells are all in sync,
and my (Gm7)soul is on the brink,
so I’ll (Bb)have my self a drink,
and sing
when Christ mas comes a round.
