[A] I don't know [F#m] how love [D] could do this [E] to me.
[A] I've waited [F#m] and waited for [D] someone I've [E] never seen.
[G#] But I'm so
[C#] sentimental, and I'm [F#m] so hopeful you'll be here.
So here [D] I am, every [E] year, every [A] Christmas.
[B]
[A] [F#m] Yes, [E]
[F#m] I've wished for you [D] in my heart and [E] in my head.
[A]
And I've got [F#m] my answer that [D] first moment [E] that we met.
[G#] And oh yes, I [C#] believed you as [F#m] you told me, as you said.
You'd [D] be here every [E] year, every [A] Christmas.
[B]
[A]
[D] There must be a lesson
[Dm] for me to learn.
If [A] you don't trust [F#m] in love, you [C#m] get nothing in return.
[D] Why should I be nervous?
[A]
[Dm] Don't tell me it's right.
[B]
But [Bm] I'd be with you.
[E]
[A] So much [F#m] emotion
[D] is driving [E] me mad.
[A] But I'll take [F#m] my chances with [D] these feelings [E] that I have.
[E]
[G#] And I'll come [C#] back to this [F#m] same corner where we met.
And I'll [D] be here [F#m]
[E] every year, [A] every Christmas.
[B]
[D] Mirrors, can't explain
[Dm] the pain and the fear.
Cause [A] I wonder, yeah, [F#m] yes, I wonder.
Are you [C#m] gonna leave me standing [E] here?
[D] Today's almost [D] over, [A]
[Dm] but I don't wanna be.
Has [B] my heart made a fool [Bm] of [E] me?
[A] My friends gather [F#m] round me [D] with holiday [E] cheer.
[A] Yeah, they say to [F#m] forget you, to let [D] you go.
Cause [E] you're not here.
[C#] Well, I can't [C#] keep explaining [E] what [F#m] they'll never understand.
And while [D] I'm here [A]
[E] every year, every [A] Christmas.
