It Doesnt Have To Be That Way

C       Cmaj7            C6     C
  Snowy nights and Christmas lights,
F     Em           Dm7   G7
  Icy window panes,
C         Cmaj7     C6       C    D7
  Make me wish that we could be
D7             G7
  Together again

          C     Cmaj7  C6  C
  And the windy winter avenues
F            Em          Dm7
  Just don't seem the same,
G7        C         Cmaj7  C6  
  And the Christmas carols 
       C
sound like blues,
          F        G7        C
  But the choir is not to blame


Continues after the ad
[Chorus]

  G7     C               F        
  But it doesn't have to be that 
 Em
way
F         Em         F  Em F    
  What we had should never have 
Em C
ended
                    F     Em
  I'll be dropping by today
F                Em     F   Em 
 'Cause we could easily get it 
F        Dm C  D7
together tonight
G7             C           G7
  It's only right


[Verse]

C         Cmaj7       C6        
  Crowded stores, the corner Santa 
C
Claus,
F          Em            G7
  Tinseled afternoons,
          C        Cmaj7      C6 
  And the sidewalk bands that 
          C      D7
play their songs
                     G7
  Slightly out of tune

         C      Cmaj7 C6  C
  On the windy winter avenues
F               Em        Dm7     G7
  There walks a lonely man,
      C    Cmaj7    C6      C
  And if I told you who he is,
         F           G7       C
  Well I think you'd understand
