Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

 I made it through the year and I did not even collapse

 Gotta say, thank God for that

 I'm torn between what keeps me whole and what tears me in half

 I'll fall apart, or stay intact

 With tired eyes I stumble back to bed

 I need to realize my sorry life's not hanging by a thread

 At least not yet

Chorus

 So look at me now

 It's finally Christmas and I'm home

 Head indoors, to get out of this weather

 And I don't know how, but the closest friends I've ever known

 are all inside singing together

 Singing, Merry Christmas, here's to many more

Verse 2

 It always hurts to be all by myself this time of year

 A cold and lonely Christmas Eve

 And living out my days alone, well that had been my deepest fear

 But you promised, you won't leave

 I look towards the east and see a star

 Jesus Christ, it's blessed my life to know just who you are

 You are my hope

Chorus 2

 So look at me now

 It's finally Christmas and I'm home

 Head indoors, to get out of this weather

 And I don't know how, but the closest friends I've ever known

 are all inside singing together

 Singing, Merry Christmas, here's to many more

Bridge

 Deck the halls with mistletoe

 May all your heavy burdens go, up the chimney in a cloud of smoke

 The fire's burning bright

 Strike up the band and play the tune, cause Christmas will be here and soon

 You'll hear our song in every room, this Merry Christmas night
