C5                    G5                    E5                             F5
I'm lighting a candle, as I'm looking through my window

                     C5                                          G5                          F5
To the town square, the snow covered streets are lonely and bare,

            C5
yeah

C5                                 E5                                     F5
The town Christmas tree, winks mockingly at me,

               Fmin                         G5                        Dmin      G5
Cause I should be spending Christmas with you.


F5                     G5                                Amin G5   F5
I wrapped my last gift and put the cellotape  away,


Dmin              G5                        Amin   Amin/G5   Amin    Amin  Amin/G5
Checked the answering machine


F5                G5                 Amin G5  F5
And in the distance, a choir      sings

   G5
About the joy that Christmas brings

C5            G5                        F5
And it's making me feel blue,

              C5                                G5                       F5
Cause I should be spending Christmas with you,

         C5                                  E5                       Amin G5      F5
But it breaks my heart that that's the place I just    can't be,

G5                                    F5  F5  F5  F5  F5  F5  F5  F5  F5  F5  F5  F5  F5  F5  G5  C5
Cause I hate your family.

C5             G5
The day I met you,

            E5                         F5
I knew you could get me through.

                       C5                           G5                             F5           C5
When we're alone, my world is complete, you're all that I need.

C5                                 G5
But when your family call,

        E5                    F5
they shit me up the wall,

                 F5                                G5                          C5
Spending time with them just makes my brain bleed.

              G5                           F5
And it's making me feel blue,

               C5                                G5                        F5
Cause I should be spending Christmas with you,

           C5                         E5                Amin G5     F5
But I'd rather string my nuts up to a Christmas tree,

G5
Cause I hate your family.

Dmin                G5
The night I first met them ,

       Amin G5    F5
The dog was drunk,

                Dmin  G5                                   Amin  Amin/G5  Amin  Amin  Amin/G5
And your father threatened me with a knife.

F5                   G5
Your sister showed me

        Amin       G5  F5
Her collection of eels,

        G5                                                               C5    G5
And what she did then will stay with me for life.

              F5                           F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 G5
And it's making me spu,

               C5                               G5                        F5
Cause I should be spending Christmas with you,

            C5                    E5                  Amin G5 F5
But I'd rather drink a tumbler full of walrus  wee,

G5
Cause I hate your family.

C5              G5                                      F5
With your brother doing dick tricks at the table,

C5            G5                                                       F5
I can't believe your mum asked me to play spin the bottle.

               C5                  E5                         Amin G5 D5
Yeah I'd rather be enclosed in a box of killer      bees,

              C5                 E5                       Amin G5 D5
Yeah I'd rather be attacked by giant chimpazees,

               C5                    E5                          Amin G5 F5    Fmin
Yeah I'd rather wear a suit designed by Jenny     Keye

        C5       G5  F5
Your mum is dumb

        C5     G5         F5
And your dad is mad

G5                                 C5        F5  F5  F5  F5  F5  F5  G5
And that's why I'm so sad
