Some thing’s up with Jack, (Bm)some thing’s up with Jack.

(Bm)Don’t know if we’re ev er going to get him back.

He’s (F#5)all a lone up there, (F#7)locked a way in side.

(Bm)Nev er says a word.

(F#)Hope he has n’t died!

(Bm)Some thing’s up with Jack!

(F#)Some thing’s up with Jack!

(Bm)Christ mas time is buzz ing (F#7)in my skull.

Will it let me be?

I (Bm)can not tell.

(Bm)There’re so man y things I (A7)can not grasp.

When I think I’ve got it, (D)then at last

through my bon y fin gers (F#7)it does slip

like a snow flake in a (Bm)fier y grip.

(Bm)Some thing here I’m not quite get ting.

(Bm)Though I try, I keep for get ting.

(Em)Like a mem ’ry (C#7)long since past.

(F#)Here in an in stant, gone in a flash.

(F#)What does it mean?

What does it mean?

(Bm)In these lit tle bric a brac, a (G7)se cret’s wait ing (C#7)to be cracked.

These (F#7)dolls and toys con (Ddim7)fuse me so, con (F#7)found it all, I (Bm)love it though.

(Dm)Sim ple ob jects, noth ing more.

But (Dm)some thing’s hid den through a door, (Gm)though I do not (E7)have the key.

(A)Some thing’s here I can not see.

(A)What does it mean?

What does it mean?

What does it mean?

I’ve (Dm)read these Christ mas books so (A)man y times.

I know the sto ries and I (Dm)know the rhymes.

I know the Christ mas car ols (C)all by heart.

My (C7)skull’s so full, it’s tear ing (F)me a part.

As of ten as I’ve read them, (A7)some thing’s wrong.

So hard to put my bon y (Dm)fin ger on.

(Dm)Or per haps it’s real ly not as (Dm)deep as I’ve been led to think.

(Gm)Am I try ing (E7)much too hard?

Of (A7)course!

I’ve been too close to see!

The (A)an swer’s right in front of me!

(A7)Right in front of me!

It’s (Dm)sim ple, real ly.

Ver y clear, like (Dm)mu sic drift ing in the air, in (Gm)vis i ble but (E7)ev ’ry where.

(A7)Just be cause I can not see it, (A)does n’t mean I can’t be lieve it.

You (Dm)know, I think this Christ mas thing is (E)not as trick y as it seems.

And (A7)why should they have (Abdim7)all the fun?

It (A)should be long to (Dm)an y one.

Not (Fm)an y one, in fact, but me!

Why, (Eb)I could make a Christ mas tree.

And (A)there’s no rea son I can find I (Bdim7)could n’t han dle Christ mas time.

I (A)bet I could im (Dm)prove it, too!

And (A7)that’s ex act ly what I’ll (Dm)do!
