[Opening]
[D]30 days till Christmas and all I know, is I’m [A]not quite ready to let go of this [Em]past year
I have so much to [G]show, [D]one more month and all I need, is a [Em]sign from you, that you think of me
If you [A]don’t, then please just [G]say so, ’cause [A]all I do, is think of [Em]you
And it’s [D]wearing me out, it’s wearing me down, this [Em]holiday, is nothing but frowns for [G]me
But I’ve got a [A]gift, you see, [D]I’m making a list, hell, I’ll check it twice
Of [Em]all the things you’ve done in my [G]life, and I’ll send it your [Em]way, so you [A]see why I love [D]you
[section 2]
[D] [A] [Em] [G]
[D]Who would’ve thought that someone like me, could’ve fallen in love so easily
I [A]know that you know that I know what I want, I know I can’t have it but give it a thought
I [Em]know that it sounds crazy, baby, but [G]all I do is think of [A]you
And it’s wearing me out, it’s wearing me down, this [A]holiday, is nothing but frowns for [G]me
But I’ve got a [A]gift, you see, I’m [D]making a list, hell, I’ll check it twice
Of [Em]all the things you’ve done in my [G]life, and I’ll send it your [Em]way
[Closing]
So you [A]see why I love, [G]everything you throw my way, I know it’s [D]hard to say, but it’s a crying shame
That I [Em]came all this way, with so much to say, but [A]all that came out was “happy holiday”
A [G]home cooked meal and a nice warm bed, [D]somebody to love a place to lay my head
