Capo 4
Am Am/G Am/F♯ Am/F
The Christmas rush, the festive stress,
Am Am/G Am/F♯ Am/F
The extra effort to make the pennies stretch,
Am Am/G Am/F♯ Am/F
The food the wine, the cards and gifts,
Am Am/G Am/F♯ Am/F
Do we really need all this?
Am Am/G Am/F♯ Am/F
The fallen snow, the children’s play,
Am Am/G Am/F♯ Am/F
Letters to santa, get lost along the way,
Am Am/G Am/F♯ Am/F
The number one, the royal speech,
Am Am/G Am/F♯ Am/F Am/E
This isn’t Christmas to me,
Dm Dm/C
'Cause every year, the more it seems,
Dm/B G
We lose what Christmas really means,
C Am Em F G
Doesn’t feel like Christmas anymore,
C Am F G
Once a time of happiness, now a big commercial chore,
C Am Em F G
Doesn’t feel like Christmas anymore,
C Am F G
For the One the world once met, still He’s the one that we forget,
F G C C/B
So this isn’t Christmas anymore.
Am Am/G Am/F♯ Am/F
A King was born to come and save,
Am Am/G Am/F♯ Am/F
Us all from the mess we've made,
Am Am/G Am/F♯ Am/F
To show us peace and love and hope,
Am Am/G Am/F♯ Am/F Am/E
The things that we are s’posed to celebrate, you know?
Dm Dm/C
But every year, the more it seems,
Dm/B G
We lose what Christmas really means,
