C                              F
  Everybody waits for Christmas
                          Am
for me it's New Year's Day
                                        F
that's gonna come and take my blues away
C                                       F
  I'm wishing on the stars for Christmas
                           Am
and hoping for a better day
                                     F
when it doesn't hurt to feel this way


Am                     Em              F                   Am
and everywhere there's joy around this festive time of year
                                  G
but happiness has never felt so far away


chorus:
             C
all of the bells ringing out for Christmas
                 F
I'm singing goodbye to the year before
                  Am                      F
I know that the next one will be different so much more
             C                                           F
all of the bells ringing out for Christmas and I'm not supposed

to feel this way
               Am                              F   G      C
but all that I want this year for Christmas is New Year's Day



C                                     F
  it's only seven days 'till Christmas
                             Am
six more 'till New Year's Day
                                     F
it's not a good time to feel this way
C                                  F
  everywhere the snow surrounds you
                            Am
and melts your troubles away
                                F
I can only hope to feel the same

                         G         F                     Am
I know that there'll be tidings of joy this time next year
                                   G
but happiness has never felt so far away


chorus (1x)

                                      G
I remember how I used to feel at Christmas
