[Chorus]
D                      F#m
Christmas won't be the same this year
            G                   A       D
Without her loving arms holding you so near
D                      F#m                A
Christmas won't be the same this year (no it won't, now darling)
            G                   A
Without her loving arms holding you so near (no no)

[Verse 1]
G            D   G              D
I see the lights but they don't shine for me
G         D        G              D
I see the presents underneath the Christmas tree
Em                      A                  D
Our house is decorated, my friends are celebrating

[Chorus]
D                      F#m
Christmas won't be the same this year (no no no)
            G                   A      D                     A
Without her loving arms holding you so near (it won't be the same this year)
D                      A
Christmas won't be the same this year (the things we used to do now darling)
            G          Em7        A
Without her loving arms   holding you so near (it's all over)

[Verse 2]
G                D    G          D
The neighborhood kids are having so much fun
G                D    G          D
Counting off the days till Santa Claus comes
G             D         G            D
And I see the mistletoe hanging from my door
Em7                           A            D
I wish I could kiss you again like I did before.

[Chorus]
D                      F#m
Christmas won't be the same this year (no no, oh, oh)
            G                   A
Without her loving arms holding you so near (yeah yeah)

[Bridge]
D
 So go on, girl, and have your fun
D
Don't spoil your time thinking about me
D
This time next year, my darling dear
Em7            A
 Hopefully you'll be having dinner with me

[Out-Chorus]

Christmas won't be the same this year (no no no no)
            D                   A
Without her loving arms holding you so near (it won't be the same)
D                      F#m
Christmas won't be the same this year (without you darling)
            G                   A
Without her loving arms holding you so near (no no)
