Merry Christmas, Please Don't Call

[Intro] D

[First Part]

D                     D/F#
 To the tempo of your uptight
                    Bm
Is the flicker of a street light
                           D
You know this moment don’t ya
                      D/F#
And time is strangely calm now
                   Bm
‘Cause everybody’s gone it’s
                    D
Just you and your anger

[Pre-Chorus]

          D/F#                   
Oh golden boy, don’t act like you 
      Bm
were kind
You were mine but you were awful 
      D
every time
                            D/F#
So don’t tell them what you told me
                       Bm
Don’t hold me like you know me
                        G
I would rather burn forever

[Chorus]

               A                D
But you should know that I died slow
                    Bm           
Running through the halls of your 
         G
haunted home
                 A              
And the toughest part is that we 
      D
both know
                 Bm
What happened to you
                       G
Why you’re out on your own
Continues after the ad
      A                       D
Merry Christmas, please don’t call

[Second Part]

D                          D/F#
 You really left me on the line kid
                 Bm
Holding all your baggage
                         D
You know I’m not your father
                         D/F#
Who says welcome to your uptight
                         Bm
While it flickers like a street 
light
                           D
He flickers through your damage

[Pre-Chorus]

          D/F#                     
Oh golden boy you shined a light on
     Bm
 our home
And at your best, you were magic, we
      D
 were sold
                            D/F#
So don’t tell them what you told me
                              Bm
Don’t even tell them that you know 
me
                        G
I would rather burn forever

[Chorus]

               A                D
But you should know that I died slow
                    Bm           
Running through the halls of your 
         G
haunted home
                 A              
And the toughest part is that we 
      D
both know
                 Bm
What happened to you
                       G
Why you’re out on your own
      A                       D
Merry Christmas, please don’t call

[Bridge]

D
One ticket out of your heavy gaze
  D
I want one ticket off of your 
carousel
  D
I want one ticket out of your heavy 
gaze
  D
I want one ticket off of your 
carousel

[Chorus]

G               A                
 But you should know that I died 
D
slow
                    Bm           
Running through the halls of your 
         G
haunted home
                 A              
And the toughest part is that we 
      D
both know
                 Bm
What happened to you
                       G
Why you’re out on your own
      A                       G
Merry Christmas, please don’t call
      A                           
Merry Christmas, I’m not yours at 
G
all
      A                       D   
Merry Christmas, please don’t call
    Bm
 me

[Ending]

             G     A
Please don’t call me
             D     Bm
Please don’t call me
             G     A  D
Please don’t call me
