[G] [Ab]
[G] Something's up with Jack
[Ab] Don't know if we're ever [G] going to get him back
He's all alone up there locked away [Cm] inside
[Ab] [G] Never says a word
Hope he [Ab] hasn't died
Something's up with [G] Jack
Christmas [D] [Ab]
[Fm] [Cm] [G] time is buzzing in my skull
Will it let me [Cm] be I cannot tell
There are so [Eb] many things I [Bb] cannot grasp
When I think I've [Eb] got it at last
Threw my bony fingers [G] into a slip
Like a [Cm] snowflake in a fiery [C] grip
Something here [G] I'm not quite getting
[A] Though I try, I keep forgetting
[Fm] Like a memory, [D] long since past
[G] Here in an instant [Fm] gone in a [Cm] flash
What does it mean, [G] what does it [Eb] mean?
[Abm] [Cm] In these little brick of rack
[Ab] A secret's waiting to be cracked
These dolls and toys [C] confuse me
[B] So confounded, [Ab] oh I love it now
[Ebm] Simple [Bb] objects, nothing more
[Gb] But something's [C] hidden through a [B] door
Though I do [Bb] not [F] have the key
[Bb] Something's [Ebm] here I cannot see
What does it mean, what does it mean?
[Gb] [F] What [Ebm] does it mean?
[Ebm] Read these [Bb] Christmas books so many times
I know the [Ebm] stories and I know the rhymes
I know the Christmas carols [Bbm] all by [Db] heart
My skull's a fool, [Gb] it's tearing me apart
As often as I've read them, [Bb] something's wrong
So hard to put [Ebm] my bony finger on
Or [D] perhaps it's me, not [Ebm] as tricked as I've been led to think
[B] Am I trying [Bb] much [F] too hard?
[Bb] Of course I've been too close to [Ebm] see
The answer's [Bb] right in front of me, right in front of me
[E] It's seemingly [Eb] very [Bm] clear, like [E] music tricked
In the [Am] air, invisible, [Gb] but everywhere
[B] Just because I cannot [G] see it
Doesn't [B] mean I can't [Em] believe it
You know, I think this Christmas [E] thing is not [Gb] as tricky as it [B] seems
Why [Db] should they have all the [B] fun?
It should [Em] belong to [Gm] anyone, not anyone in fact
[F] But me, why I could make a Christmas [B] tree
There's no reason I can [Gb] whine
I could have a Christmas [B] time
I've a [Gb] life full of room [Gbm] and two
And [G] that's exactly [Gb] what [E] I'll do
He he he he he
Eureka, I've got it
[G] Something's up with Jack
[Ab] Don't know if we're ever [G] going to get him back
He's all alone up there locked away [Cm] inside
[Ab] [G] Never says a word
Hope he [Ab] hasn't died
