G                 C              G
Today I took some paper from the closet
    C                   D7            G     D7
And wrapped the wedding ring you left behind
      G                   C                G
And I addressed it to the man who vowed to love you
           C             D7                G
And on the little card I wrote these words inside

                   C
Merry Christmas to me
D7                       G   D7 Em
Just one gift beneath my tree
                         C
For the fool who let you leave
D7                 G
Merry Christmas to me

                      C                 G
Then I sat down in my chair and thought about you
C              D7                 G
About the many reasons why you're gone
                    C              G
And I opened up the present that I gave me
       C                 D7          G
And realized how much it hurts to be alone

                   C
Merry Christmas to me
D7                       G   D7  Em
Just one gift beneath my tree
                         C
For the fool who let you leave
D7                 G  D7 Em
Merry Christmas to me

                         C
I'm the fool who let you leave
D7                 G
Merry Christmas to me
