Standard (EADGBE)

Everybody waits for Christmas

 for me it's New Year's Day

 that's gonna come and take my blues away

I'm wishing on the stars for Christmas

 and hoping for a better day

 when it doesn't hurt to feel this way

and everywhere there's joy around this festive time of year

 but happiness has never felt so far away

Chorus

 all of the bells ringing out for Christmas

 I'm singing goodbye to the year before

 I know that the next one will be different so much more

 all of the bells ringing out for Christmas and I'm not supposed

to feel this way

 but all that I want this year for Christmas is New Year's Day

it's only seven days 'till Christmas

 six more 'till New Year's Day

 it's not a good time to feel this way

everywhere the snow surrounds you

 and melts your troubles away

 I can only hope to feel the same

 I know that there'll be tidings of joy this time next year

 but happiness has never felt so far away

Chorus

 I remember how I used to feel at Christmas
