VERSE 1:
    C               Cmaj7          Am
The kids are making snowmen out of mud
   G                    F
It makes me think about us
               C
Does that mean something?
           F
I think it does
              Em
But let's not talk about it

C            Cmaj7         Am
Conversation only makes us weak
     G                F
Consequently we don't speak
            C             F
Not with conviction nor belief
          C               F
I know my head, I know my feet
                Em               G
And now they're pointing out the door

CHORUS:
F          G              C   Cmaj7 Am  G
And so I'm leaving you on Christmas day
F          G            C     (Cmaj7) Am     (G)
Forgive my timing but I simply have a mind to run away
F           G                 C  Cmaj7   Am
And I don't care what all the people say
  G   F                                          G
I say peace and goodwill starts with getting the hell out of here


VERSE 2:
C           Cmaj7          Am
Decorations sit and gather dust
   G                    F
It makes me think about us
               C
Does that mean something?
                 F
Yeah, I think it does
              Em
But let's not talk about it

C            Cmaj7         Am
Boxes of the shiny and the cheap
             G            F
With nothing permanent to keep
            C             F
Sit in high spirits for a month
             C                 F
And when the sherry's all been drunk
                Em                 G
There's nothing much that keeps me here
G  C  F
Oh my dear

CHORUS:
    G              C   Cmaj7 Am  G
I'm leaving you on Christmas day
F           G              C     (Cmaj7)     Am   (G)
In truth, I think we never really liked each other anyway
F           G                 C  Cmaj7   Am
And I don't care what all the people say
    G     F                                          G                  C
Cos I say peace and goodwill starts with getting the hell out of here, alive

VERSE 3:
    C                  Cmaj7            Am
The house is cold, the boiler's packing up
   G                    F
It makes me think about us
               C
Does that mean something?
                     F
Yes, well I think it does
              Em
But let's not dwell upon that

     C                Cmaj7     Am        
They say outside it's minus 8 degrees
           G                F
I swear it ain't as cold as me
             C            F
I know there is no winter breeze
             C              F
To make your heart begin to freeze
          Em              G
I know it happened years ago

CHORUS:
    F       G              C   Cmaj7 Am G
And so, I'm leaving you on Christmas day
F           G              C     (Cmaj7)     Am   (G)
In truth, I think we never really liked each other anyway
    F       G                 C  Cmaj7   Am
And I don't care what all the people say
    G     F                             G              (Em)         C
Cos I say have yourself a bitter little Christmas and a twisted New Year
