[Verse 1]
C D G Em
It’s around this time of year I get to thinking
C D G B7
About all the things I wish I’d said or done
C D Em D Dbdim
If I ever get myself together I’ll be stunned
C D
I know that I can’t be the only one

[Verse 2]
C D G Em
Resolutions rarely lead to revolutions
C D G B7
No not everyone can spark one from their bed
C D Em D Dbdim
I’m tired and uninspired, truth be told rather be dead
C Cm Cm6
The past is something I can’t seem to shed

[Pre-Chorus]
G Bm
But it’s Christmas I’ll go through the motions
C G D
Atoning for mistakes I haven’t made
G Bm Bbm
It’s the litmus, of my devotion
Am Dsus4 D
To people that don’t matter anyway

{Chorus]
Eb F D D7 Gm F C
Just because it’s Christmas doesn’t mean I’m having fun
Eb F D D7 Gm F C
Despite all my ambition, what exactly have I done?

Just because it’s Christmas doesn’t mean I’m having fun
Eb F D D7 Gm F C
Despite all my ambition, what exactly have I done?

[Outro]
Eb F
I keep hoping maybe next year things will change
Bb Gm Eb
Then when nothing’s different I try to assuage and smile
F Gm F
As time passes me by

Eb F
I send more prayers than postcards despite all I lack
Gm F Edim
Yet every movement forward brings me two steps back
Eb Dm Fm G7
It’s time for cheer, maybe next year

Cm F
And I won’t find anything I need beneath the tree
D7 G
Or anyone around it that might disagree
Cm F
That just because it’s Christmas doesn’t mean I’m having
Gb Gm Abdim7 D7/A
fun

Eb Ebm6 Bbmaj7
Just because it’s Christmas doesn’t mean I’m having fun.
