Every Year, Every Christmas Chords by Luther Vandross

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _
I [B] _ _ [A] _ _ _
don't know [F#m] how _ love _ _ [D] could _ do this [E] to _ me.
_ _ [A] _ _
I've waited [F#m] and waited _ for [D] someone I _ [E] never see.
_ _ _ [G#] But I'm so _ [C#] sentimental _ and I'm [F#m] so hopeful _ you'll be here.
So here [D] I _ am every [E] _ _
year, [A] every Christmas. _
[B] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [E] Yes, _ _ _ [F#m] I've wished for you _ [D] in my heart and _ [E] in my head.
_ [A] _ _ _
And I got [F#m] my answer _ that [D] first moment _ _ [E] that we met.
_ _ _ [G#] And oh yes, I [C#] believed you _ as [F#m] you told _ me, as you said. _
_ You'd [D] be here _ _ every [E] _ year, _ every [A] Christmas. _
[B] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ There must be a lesson _
_ _ _ [Dm] for _ _ me to learn.
_ If [A] you _ _ don't trust [F#m] in love, _ you [C#m] get nothing _ _ in return. _
_ _ _ [D] _ _
Why should I be? _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _
Don't tell me it's wrong.
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ But [Bm] I'd _ rather be with you.
[E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
So much [F#m] _ _
emotion _ _ [D] _ is driving [E] me _ _ mad.
[A] Yeah, _ but I'll take [F#m] my chances _ with [D] these feelings _ _ [E] that I have.
_ _ _ [G#] And _ [G#m] I'll come [C#] back to _ _ this [F#m] same corner _ where we met. _
And I'll [D] be here _ [F#m] _ [E] every _ year, every [A] Christmas. _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ Mirror's getting _
_ [A] _ _ [Dm] _ _
the pain in the _ _ neck.
Cause [A] I wonder, _ yeah, [F#m] yes, I wonder.
Are you [C#m] gonna leave _ me standing _ _ [E] here?
_ [D] _ _ _
Today's almost [D] over, _ _ _ [Dm] _ but I don't want to. _ _
_ Has [B] my heart _ made a _ fool _ [Bm] of _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ me?
Yeah, _ _ [A] _ _
my friends gather [F#m] _ _
round _ [D] me _ with holiday [E] cheer. _
_ _ [A] Yeah, _ they say to [F#m] forget you, to let [D] you go.
Cause [E] you're not here.
_ _ [C#] _ Well, I can't keep explaining _ _ what [F#m] they'll never _ _ _ [F#m] understand. _ _
And while [D] I'm _ here _ [E] every _ year, _ [A] every Christmas, _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ I [D] return _
[A] _ _ [E] every _ year, _ [A] every Christmas.
[B] _ _ _ [A] _ I _ _ _ [D] come here _ _ _ [E] every _ year, _ _ _ _ every Christmas. _
