GI ain't laughiCadd9ng

GI didn't hear the joke anCadd9yway

 I got my Gfingers on the windows

 TheCadd9 snow makes this a prison

Dsus4Tomorrow will be Christmas DDay

I took you drinking

To say the things that I needed to say

You drank me under the table like you always do

The radio just plays away

Em7 [G/f#] G

Those same old songs

Em7 [G/f#] G

Every single year

Em7 [G/f#] G A7sus4 Cadd9

We drink we sing and I forget the things that I need you to hear

Then we argue

As the snow seals us in for the night

You say Santa Claus is coming

But I don't care what the song says

That's never going to sound quite right

Because this ain't New Jersey

Father Christmas is coming to town

You throw your drink in my face

Throw that look in my direction

And the radio plays on and on

Those same old songs

Every single year

We drink we sing oh the state we're in but it's Christmas my dear

Em7The workmen grit the roads as the Gbarman grits his teeth

  Cadd9 G [G/f#]

He's praying that the storm will ease up over London

Em7He knows he shouldn't drive

 He'd be Gsleeping in his car

 And that jusCadd9t ain't no goA7sus4od

Em7The floorboards of the pub they justG buckle with our love

  Cadd9 G [G/f#]

Because when we fight I love you more like your favourite film

Em7It's A Wonderful Life, you've seen it a Ghundred times

Cadd9But you don't get bored you don't A7sus4get bored Cadd9

11:30, Christmas Eve turning into Christmas Day

I ask you how you're feeling

You answer I'm ageing

I remember what I need to say

I'm Jimmy Stewart in that film you hold so dear

I may have had a bit to drink

I may have done some dumb things

But I'm glad the storm has trapped me here

With you with you

Em7 G Cadd9 G G F♯

Em7 G Cadd9 A7sus4

The workmen grit the roads as the barman grits his teeth

He's praying that the storm will ease up over London

He knows he shouldn't drive

He'd be sleeping in his car

And that just ain't no good

The floorboards of the pub they just buckle with our love

Because when we fight I love you more like your favourite film

It's A Wonderful Life, you've seen it a thousand times

But you don't get bored you don't get bored

Still the same old songs

They fill the air

We drink we sing oh the state we're in

Here's to another year
