Verse
A   A              F#m7 F#m7 D       D          E  E A 
 I don't know how love      could do this to me   

     A          F#m7   F#m7     D         D       E   E C#sus4 
I've waited and waited     for someone I  never see   

        C#sus4         C#7            F#m7    F#m7 
But I'm so sentimental    and I'm so hopeful     you'll be here 

F#m7      D  D       E    E       A         A A 
So here I am  every year  every Christmas   

     A      F#m7           F#m7 D               E          E A 
Yeah  I've wished for you     in my heart and in my head   

    A        F#m7   F#m7            D      D      E      E C#sus4 
And I got my answer     that first moment  that we met   

       C#sus4 C#7          C#7        F#m7    F#m7 
And oh yes I believed  you    as you told me     as you said 

F#m7     D    D       E    E       A         A A D 
You'd be here  every year  every Christmas    

      D                D                 D 
There must be a lesson  for me to learn  

       A              F#m7 F#m            C#m7    C#m7           C#m7 
If you don't trust in love    you'll get nothing     in return  


Chorus
D     D                  D 
 Why should I be lonely  Don't tell me it's right 

D B         B             Bm7                E       E 
I  have my pride but I'd rather be with you tonight  


Verse
A         F#m7    F#m7 D      D          E   E A 
 So much emotion      it's driving me mad  yeah 

    A            F#m7    F#m7            D        D      E      E C#sus4 
But I'll take my chances     with these feelings  that I have   

    C#sus4         C#7 C#7           F#m7   F#m7 
And I'll come back to     this same corner     where we met 

F#m7        DM7  D       E    E       A         A A D 
And I'll be here  every year  every Christmas    

     D                   D 
Mere words can't explain  the pain and the fear 

D         A        A 
'cause oh I wonder  yes 

F#m7     F#m7               C#m7     C#m7          C#m7      C#m7 
I wonder     are you gonna leave me     standing     here  


Chorus
D                D      D       D                   D 
 Today's almost  over  but I don't want to leave  

       B                 B Bm7           E 
Has my heart made a fool     out of me  


Bridge
A    A              F#m7      F#m7 D      D       E     E      A 
 My friends gather 'round me      with holiday cheer  yeah  

     A      F#m7 
They say to forget you 

F#m7       D         D        E        E 
To let you go 'cause  you're not here  


Chorus
C#sus4        C#sus4     C#7        C#7              F#m7  F#m7            
      Well I can't keep explaining    what they'll never     understand 

F#m7             F#m7 F#m7       E    E       A         A A 
    And why I'm here     every year  every Christmas   

  DM7    DM7       E    E       A         A A 
I return    every year  every Christmas
