I couldn't find the chords for this song anywhere so I did it by ear. Its not 
exactly how Sufjan plays it because he plays it on a banjo, but it works if you 
just want to sing along to it. It's very simple.
Standard Tuning
EmThis time of year
Dyou always disappear
BmYou tell me not to call
GYou tell me not to call
EmAnd when the door is closed
Dyou're wearing different clothes
BmOr hiding in the paper,
Gpretending not to hear
EmInexpensive wine
DI buy it all the time
BmYou tell me take it back
GYou say you'll take a nap
EmBut I can see it now
DYou always tell me how
BmI could do so much better
GYou said it in your letter
DDid I make  you AcryG  
On Christmas day?
DDid I let  yAou down G  
Like every other day?
DDid I make  you AcryG  
On Christmas day?
DDid I let  yoAu downG  
On Christmas day?
EmThe bed that isn't made
DThe broken window shade
BmThe radiator's on
GI loved you along
EmBut I can see it now
DYou always tell me how
BmI could do so much better
GYou said it in your letter
EmI stay awake at night
DAfter we have a fight
BmI'm writing poems about you
GAnd they aren't very nice
EmI didn't mean to yell
DI said I couldn't tell
BmI only grabbed your wrist
GOr would you rather we kissed?
DDid I make  you cAry G  
On Christmas day?
DDid I make  you cAryG  
Like every other day?
DDid I make  you cAryG  
On Christmas day?
DDid I make  you cAry?    G

This time of year

you always disappear

You tell me not to call

And when the door is closed

you're wearing different clothes

Or hiding in the paper,

pretending not to hear

Inexpensive wine

I buy it all the time

You tell me take it back

You say you'll take a nap

But I can see it now

You always tell me how

I could do so much better

You said it in your letter

D A G

Did I make you cry

On Christmas day?

D A G

Did I let you down

Like every other day?

D A G

Did I make you cry

On Christmas day?

D A G

Did I let you down

On Christmas day?

The bed that isn't made

The broken window shade

The radiator's on

I loved you along

But I can see it now

You always tell me how

I could do so much better

You said it in your letter

I stay awake at night

After we have a fight

I'm writing poems about you

And they aren't very nice

I didn't mean to yell

I said I couldn't tell

I only grabbed your wrist

Or would you rather we kissed?

Did I make you cry
