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
Em D A
For years and years I pushed you aside, but never again
Chorus:
D A Em
Wrap me up like a present and put me away
G D
and when it gets cold I'll be yours
A Em
Let the bells ring on a fool's holiday
G D
I swear that I'm more than just broken promises,
A Em G
decorations can change like tinsel 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
Em D A
For years and years I pushed you aside, but never again so
Chorus:
D A Em
Wrap me up like a present and put me away,
G D
and when it gets cold I'll be yours
A Em
Let the bells ring on a fool's holiday
G D
I swear that I'm more than just broken promises,
A Em G
decorations can change like tinsel 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, Em-Fm-F#m, F#m-Fm-Em, Fm-F#m-G x2
D* A* G*
Tie me in ribbons and put me away,
D
know that I'll always be yours
A* G*
Bells will ring on a fool's holiday
D A Em
Wrap me up like a present and put me away,
G (stop)
and when it gets cold I'll be yours
D A Em
Let the bells ring on a fool's holiday
G D
I swear that I'm more than just broken promises,
A Em G
decorations can change like tinsel and ribbon so
D A Em G
Do not open 'til you've got forever to spend with me, oh
Em F#m G
(once)
Do not open 'til you've got forever to spend
D
with me on a fool's holiday
