Not This Year

This is one of my favourite 
christmas songs. It is on Aly & AJ's
 album entitled
Hearts of Winter." I definatley 
reccomend that you buy this CD if 
you are a fan of Aly & AJ. I'm
certain that these tabs are 99.9% 
accurate. Enjoy!

LYRICS

VERSE 1:
This Christmas card is contrived
A mannequin looks more alive
Haven't meant a word I've written 
here
The page is full not one thing 
sincere

PRE-CHORUS:
I can't, I can't
I can't, I can't take it
This is the time to smile,
I can't fake it
Please allow me the chance now
To break it down

CHORUS:
It's not snow, It's rain coming down
And the lights are cool,
But they burn out
And I can't pull off the cheer
Not this year
Not this year
Not this year

VERSE 2:
When I look into the mirror
No happiness is present here
Not supposed to whine,
Not supposed to cry
Try to hold it in, but not this time

PRE-CHORUS
I can't, I can't
I can't, I can't take it
This is the time to smile,
I can't fake it
Please allow me the chance now
To break it down

CHORUS 2:
It's not snow, It's rain coming down
And the lights are cool,
But they burn out
And I can't pull off the cheer
Not this year
Not this year
Not this year

BRIDGE:
Don't know, don't know
If you can hear me
I will, I will
Speak louder for you

No more whispering
Are you listening
I am pleading
I am pleading

Pre-CHORUS:
I can't, I can't
I can't, I can't take it
This is the time to smile,
I can't fake it
Please allow me the chance now
To break it down

CHORUS 2:
It's not snow, It's rain coming down
And the lights are cool,
But they burn out
And I can't pull off the cheer
Not this year
Not this year
Not this year
I can't, I can't

(SOLO IS PLAYED HERE)

CHORUS 2:
It's not snow, It's rain coming down
And the lights are cool,
But they burn out
And I can't pull off the cheer
Not this year
Not this year
Not this year
Not this year
