     B                    D#m
It's all red and gold and Nat King Cole
     C#m           F#
and tinsel on the tree
           B                 D#m
It's all twinkle lights and snowy nights
    C#m           F#
and kids still believe
        B             D#m
And I know that they say,
        C#m       F#
"Have a happy holiday"
           B       D#m        C#m F#
And every year, I sincerely try
          C#m         F#                B D#m C#m F#
Oh, but Christmas, it always makes me cry

It's the ones we miss, no one to kiss under
the mistletoe
Another year gone by, just one more that I,
I couldn't make it home
And I know that they say, "Have a happy holiday"
And every year, I swear I sincerely try
Oh, but Christmas, it always makes me cry
Always

        E                     D#m
Seems like everybody else is having fun
   C#m                   F#
I wonder if I'm the only one

Who's broken heart still has broken parts
just wrapped in pretty paper
And it's always sad seeing mom and dad
getting a little grayer
And they always say, "Have a happy holiday"
And every year, I sincerely try
Oh, but Christmas, it always makes me cry
