I know there's already a tab for this but I transcribed it into chords for those who can't read tablature :)
I simplified the chord sequence on the chorus a bit
(* = strum once)
Capo 1
Intro: 
D, Em-Fm-F#m, F#m-Fm-Em, Fm-F#m-G
Verse 1:
D              Em-Fm-F#m
  I know I've been a real bad guy,
   F#m-Fm-Em                    Fm-F#m-G
  my name's made the list more than a few times
D                                    Em-Fm-F#m
  You could light up a candle for every mistake that I've made
          F#m-Fm-Em 
  and I'd follow them home with you
         Fm-F#m-G
  on a pity parade
  EmFor years and yeaDrs I pushed you asAide, but never again
Chorus:
  DWrap me up like a pAresent and put me awEmay
  and wGhen it gets cold I'll be yoDurs
  Let the bells rAing on a fool's holidEmay
  I swGear that I'm more than just Dbroken promises,
  Adecorations can chEmange like tGinsel and ribbon so
                   D                        A   G(once)
  Do not open 'til you've got forever to spend
  with me on a fool's holiday
D
Verse 2:
D                  Em-Fm-F#m  
  I've always lived too selfishly,
 F#m-Fm-Em                     Fm-F#m-G
  nobody's perfect babe, but I never tried to be
            D                                      Em-Fm-F#m
  So every second I've poisoned and all of the minutes you spent on me
           F#m-Fm-Em                                          Fm-F#m-G  
  I'd give my whole life's worth of hours to fix what I broke in the first place
  EmFor years and yeDars I pushed you asiAde, but never again so
Chorus:
  DWrap me up like a pAresent and put me awEmay,
  and wGhen it gets cold I'll be yoDurs
  Let the bells riAng on a fool's holiEmday
