Every Year, Every Christmas Chords by Luther Vandross

_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ I _ _
_ [A] _ [Bm] _ [A] _ _ _
don't know [F#m] how _ _ love _ [D] could _ do [E] this to me.
_ _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _
I've waited [F#m] and waited _ for [D] _ someone I [E] never _ see.
_ _ [G#m] _ But I'm so _ [C#] sentimental _ _ and [F#m] I'm so hopeful _ [C#m] [F#m] you'll be here.
So [D] here I _ _ am, [E] every year, _ _ [A] every Christmas.
[B] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[D] _ Yes, [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [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.
_ _ [B] And oh yes, [C#] I believe you _ [F#m] as you told _ me, [E] [F#m] as you said. _
_ _ [D] You'll be _ here _ [E] every _ _ year, [A] every Christmas.
[B] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _
There must be a lesson _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ for _ me to learn.
_ If [A] you _ _ don't trust [F#m] in _ love, _ [C#m] you'll get nothing _ _ in _ return.
_ _ [D] _ _
Why should I? _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _
Don't tell me. _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ But [D] I'd _ rather be with you.
[E] _ _ _
_ Ah, [A] _ _ _
so much [F#m] _ _
emotion _ _ [D] is _ _ driving [E] me _ mad.
_ [D] [A] Yeah, _ but I'll take [F#m] my _ chances with [D] these _ feelings _ [E] that I have.
_ _ [B] _ _
And I'll come [C#] back to _ _ this [F#m] same corner [E] where [F#m] we _ met.
And I'll [D] be _ here _ [E] every _ year, _ [A] every Christmas.
[B] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ Mirrors, can it _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _
be the same as the _ _ moon?
Because [A] I wonder, _ yeah, [F#m] yes, I wonder, are you [C#m] going to leave _ [E] me standing _ _ here?
_ [D] _ _ _
Today's almost over, _ [A] _ [Dm] _ _ but I don't want _ _ _ _ to cast [B] my _ heart made of _ _ food.
[D] I'll _ _ _ _ [E] be _ here.
_ _ [A] _ _
My friends gather [F#m] _ _
around me [D] _ _
with holiday [E] cheer. _
_ [D] _ [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 _ _ [F#m] what they'll never _
_ _ [E] _ [F#m] understand. _
And while I'm _ here _ [E] every _ year, every [A] Christmas, _
[B] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ I [D] return [A] _
_ every [E] _ _
year, _ [A] every Christmas.
[B] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
I _ [D] come here _ _ _ [E] every _ year, _ _ _ _ every [A] Christmas. _
