D                   G
Careful what you say
                 A
This time of year
              G                 
Tends to weaken me
    D             G
And have a little decency
    A             G               
And let me cry in peace
     D                    G
But there?s a place where I
          A               G                          
Erase the challenges Ive been through
      D            G                         
Where I know every corner
      A                    
Every street-name
       G                 
all by heart

    G           D 
And so it is a part of my
    G              A4 A                 
courageous plan to leave
 G               D                 
With a broken heart
        G           A4 A                          
Tucked away under my sleeve

           D        G                                  
I wanna go home for Christmas
          A4 A   Bm7                        
Let me go home this year
           D        G                      
I wanna go home for Christmas
          A4 A    D                 
Let me go home this year

      D                   
Ill pack my bags
    G                A           G
and leave before the sun rises tomorrow
      D                G                  A
Cause we act more like strangers for each day
          G
That I am here
    D             G 
But I have people close to me
    A            G
Who never will desert me
D             G
Who remind me frequently
     A               G
What I was like as a child


    G           D 
And so it is a part of my
    G              A4 A                 
courageous plan to leave
 G               D

Let me go home this year

  D                  G   
I dont know what my future holds
    A                 G
or who Ill choose to love me
    D              G
But I can tell you where I?m from
     A               G
And who loved me to life


    G           D 
And so it is a part of my
