C5                              F5
  Everybody waits for Christmas
                          A5
for me it's New Year's Day
                                        F5
that's gonna come and take my blues away
C5                                       F5
  I'm wishing on the stars for Christmas
                           A5
and hoping for a better day
                                     F5
when it doesn't hurt to feel this way


A5                     E5              F5                   A5
and everywhere there's joy around this festive time of year
                                  G5
but happiness has never felt so far away


chorus:
             C5
all of the bells ringing out for Christmas
                 F5
I'm singing goodbye to the year before
                  A5                      F5
I know that the next one will be different so much more
             C5                                           F5
all of the bells ringing out for Christmas and I'm not supposed

to feel this way
               A5                              F5   G5      C5
but all that I want this year for Christmas is New Year's Day



C5                                     F5
  it's only seven days 'till Christmas
                             A5
six more 'till New Year's Day
                                     F5
it's not a good time to feel this way
C5                                  F5
  everywhere the snow surrounds you
                            A5
and melts your troubles away
                                F5
I can only hope to feel the same

                         G5         F5                     A5
I know that there'll be tidings of joy this time next year
                                   G5
but happiness has never felt so far away


chorus (1x)

                                      G5
I remember how I used to feel at Christmas
