[Verse 1]
GWinter days, turn to grey, put the headlights on...
DSnow and rain, wiped away, I can't keep my eyes on the Emroad
When I'm driving home, 
GI got tears, running down
Burning in my eyes and Dyou and I
Heated by the flicker of a lighter
EmOh, and I let it go
[Pre-Chorus]
But I just got Chere
I know it's Gbeen a while darling, Ddear
There's been a Emchange in the Dtime of Cyear
When the Gfrost bites the Dsnow
And Christmas comes aroundG  
[Chorus]
GFor the down and outsD  
And broken lay-aboutsC  
What will they do Emnow?
When DChristmas comes aroundG  
We were so in lDove
Till I messed it Cup
But who will love me Emnow
When CDhristmas comes aroundG  
[Verse 2]
GFamily asking me, why I let you go
DTelling me, its a mistake
I'm telling them that I know
EmBut I can't call you
GYour inner space, better place
Loving on a new man
DI don't blame you at all
You did all that you can, EmI know
[Pre-Chorus]
But I just got Chere
I know it's Gbeen a while darling, Ddear
There's been a Emchange in the Dtime of Cyear
When the Gfrost bites the Dsnow
And Christmas comes aroundG  
[Chorus]
GFor the down and outsD  
And broken lay-aboutsC  
What will they do Emnow?
When DChristmas comes aroundG  
We were so in lDove
Till I messed it Cup
But who will love me Emnow
When CDhristmas comes aroundC  
[Bridge]
And, I'm Gsick of all the Dsongs
The EmChristmas Dsing-alongsC  
The Gmerry and the Dcheer
But I don't feel like that this Cyear
All the Gbells are all in Dsync
And my Emsoul is Don the Cbrink
So I'll Ghave myself a Ddrink, and sing
When Christmas comes around
[Chorus]
GFor the down and outsD  
And broken lay-aboutsC  
What will they do Emnow?
When DChristmas comes aroundG  
We were so in lDove
Till I messed it Cup
But who will love me Emnow
When CDhristmas comes aroundC  
Will you love me Emnow
When DChristmas comes around

[Verse 1]

Winter days, turn to grey, put the headlights on...

D Em

Snow and rain, wiped away, I can't keep my eyes on the road

When I'm driving home,

I got tears, running down

Burning in my eyes and you and I

Heated by the flicker of a lighter

Oh, and I let it go

[Pre-Chorus]

But I just got here

G D

I know it's been a while darling, dear

Em D C

There's been a change in the time of year

G D

When the frost bites the snow

And Christmas comes around

[Chorus]

G D

For the down and outs

And broken lay-abouts

What will they do now?

D G

When Christmas comes around

We were so in love

Till I messed it up

But who will love me now

D G

When Christmas comes around

[Verse 2]

Family asking me, why I let you go

Telling me, its a mistake

I'm telling them that I know

But I can't call you

Your inner space, better place

Loving on a new man

I don't blame you at all

You did all that you can, I know

[Pre-Chorus]

But I just got here

G D

I know it's been a while darling, dear

Em D C

There's been a change in the time of year

G D

When the frost bites the snow

And Christmas comes around

[Chorus]

G D

For the down and outs

And broken lay-abouts

What will they do now?

D G

When Christmas comes around

We were so in love

Till I messed it up

But who will love me now

D C

When Christmas comes around

[Bridge]

G D

And, I'm sick of all the songs

Em D C

The Christmas sing-alongs

G D

The merry and the cheer

But I don't feel like that this year

G D

All the bells are all in sync

Em D C

And my soul is on the brink

G D

So I'll have myself a drink, and sing

When Christmas comes around

[Chorus]

G D

For the down and outs

And broken lay-abouts

What will they do now?

D G

When Christmas comes around

We were so in love

Till I messed it up

But who will love me now

D C

When Christmas comes around

Will you love me now

When Christmas comes around
