Man Overboard - Decemberism
Tune your guitar half a step down! Or look at the chords at the end if you're too 
lazy... like me :D
Bm G Bm G
BmWe all wait for the snow to fall
And I Ghate this time of year because it kills us all but we
BmRun around like kids on the loose
Chasing Gdreams like the babies play Aduck, duck, goose and I
BmWait by the window cause she said she would call
And when you Gfinally do I watch the words fall out of
BmMy mouth and stick to my shirt
The Gsummer's always lovely but the Awinters always hurtBm  
And Gmaybe next year you could find me Asomewhere in the dirt
Bm    Em   G
BmWho could forget, it was almost 200Em3
We kissed Gunder your Christmas Bmtree
While your parents were EmasleepG  
I was Bm15 on top of the world
I was Em15 and Gyou were my girl
And Bmall I'm saying is for Christmas this year I would kinda like to Emsee youG  
BmHappy holidays, let's hope for the best
And I'll Gtry to ignore the feeling that I get in my chest when I
BmThink about all the time that we missed
Being Gcaught up growing up and acting Aselfish and pissed but I
BmWait by the airport cause you said you'd come home
And by Gnow my hands are glued to my phone as you
BmWalk on a plane to fly home from LA
I'm Gmissing you on Christmas in the Aworst kind of wayBm  
And Gmaybe next time it won't be so Aeasy for you to stray
Bm    Em  G
BmWho could forget, it was almost 200Em3
We kissed Gunder your Christmas Bmtree
While your parents were EmasleepG  
I was Bm15 on top of the world
I was Em15 and Gyou were my girl
And Bmall I'm saying is for Christmas this year I would kinda like to Emsee youG  
Bm    G     Bm     Em  G

Bm G Bm G

We all wait for the snow to fall

And I hate this time of year because it kills us all but we

Run around like kids on the loose

G A

Chasing dreams like the babies play duck, duck, goose and I

Wait by the window cause she said she would call

And when you finally do I watch the words fall out of

My mouth and stick to my shirt

G A Bm

The summer's always lovely but the winters always hurt

G A

And maybe next year you could find me somewhere in the dirt

Bm Em G

Bm Em

Who could forget, it was almost 2003

G Bm

We kissed under your Christmas tree

Em G

While your parents were asleep

I was 15 on top of the world

Em G

I was 15 and you were my girl

Bm Em G

And all I'm saying is for Christmas this year I would kinda like to see you

Happy holidays, let's hope for the best

And I'll try to ignore the feeling that I get in my chest when I

Think about all the time that we missed

G A

Being caught up growing up and acting selfish and pissed but I

Wait by the airport cause you said you'd come home

And by now my hands are glued to my phone as you

Walk on a plane to fly home from LA

And maybe next time it won't be so easy for you to stray
