D5                   G5
Careful what you say
                 A5
This time of year
              G5                 
Tends to weaken me
    D5             G5
And have a little decency
    A5             G5               
And let me cry in peace
     D5                    G5
But there?s a place where I
          A5               G5                          
Erase the challenges Ive been through
      D5            G5                         
Where I know every corner
      A5                    
Every street-name
       G5                 
all by heart

    G5           D5 
And so it is a part of my
    G5              A5 A5                 
courageous plan to leave
 G5               D5                 
With a broken heart
        G5           A5 A5                          
Tucked away under my sleeve

           D5        G5                                  
I wanna go home for Christmas
          A5 A5   B5                        
Let me go home this year
           D5        G5                      
I wanna go home for Christmas
          A5 A5    D5                 
Let me go home this year

      D5                   
Ill pack my bags
    G5                A5           G5
and leave before the sun rises tomorrow
      D5                G5                  A5
Cause we act more like strangers for each day
          G5
That I am here
    D5             G5 
But I have people close to me
    A5            G5
Who never will desert me
D5             G5
Who remind me frequently
     A5               G5
What I was like as a child


    G5           D5 
And so it is a part of my
    G5              A5 A5                 
courageous plan to leave
 G5               D5                 
With a broken heart
        G5           A5 A5                          
Tucked away under my sleeve

           D5        G5                                  
I wanna go home for Christmas
          A5 A5   B5                        
Let me go home this year
           D5        G5                      
I wanna go home for Christmas
          A5 A5    D5                 
Let me go home this year

  D5                  G5   
I dont know what my future holds
    A5                 G5
or who Ill choose to love me
    D5              G5
But I can tell you where I?m from
     A5               G5
And who loved me to life


    G5           D5 
And so it is a part of my
    G5              A5 A5                 
courageous plan to leave
 G5               D5                 
With a broken heart
        G5           A5 A5                          
Tucked away under my sleeve
