[F#m]
[A] [D]
[B] [A]
I 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 [F#m] I'm so hopeful you'll be here.
So [D] here I am [E] every 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've got [F#m] my answer that [D] first moment [E] that we met.
[G#] And oh yes, [C#] I believed you as [F#m] you told me that you said [D] you'd be here [E] every year, [A] every Christmas.
But
[B] [A] there [D]
must be a lesson
[A] [Dm] for me to learn.
[A] If you don't trust [F#m] in love, you [C#m] get nothing in return.
[D]
Why should I then?
[Dm]
Don't tell me it's
[B]
[Bm]
right to 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 [D] I'll be here [F#m] [E] every year, [A] every Christmas.
[B] [A]
[D]
Mere words can't explain [A] [Dm]
the [D] pain [Dm] in the
Cause [A] I wonder, yeah, [F#m] yes, I wonder.
Are [C#m] you gonna leave me standing here?
[E] [D]
Today's almost over, [A] [Dm] but I don't wanna leave.
Has [B] my heart made a fool [Bm] of
[E] me?
And [A]
my friends [F#m] gather round me [D]
with holiday [E] cheer.
[B] Yeah, [A]
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 [E] what [F#m] they'll never
[F#] [F#m] understand.
And while [D] I'm here [A] [E] every year, [A] every Christmas,
