D                 Bm
Weather's getting cold again
G                      A
The leaves are falling off the trees
D               Bm
You can almost sense it's time
G                      A
For jingle bells and wrapping things
G                 D/F#
Every driveway's full of cars
 G                 A
Kids out of school in the yards

Chorus:
              D
When there's lights on every street
         Em
The snowflakes on everything
           G                                     D A
Well it's just what you've been waiting for all year
            D
When you believe in Santa Claus
          Em
When you give gifts just because
          Bm            A           G D/F#
And you drive all night only to be near
    Em7
The ones you love
         A         D
Well it must be Christmas

All you see is red and green
And people wearing winter coats
Every church has a Nativity
For everyone to see
That's how you know

Chorus

When you believe in Santa Claus
When you give gifts just because
And you drive all night only to be near
The ones you love
Well it must be Christmas
It must be Christmas
