[Verse 1]
D                    A                      Bm   A
  Tell you that it's better now, but I'd be lying
                  G               D      Em
And I'm fed up of crying when the winter comes
D                     A                 Bm        A
  Tell you that we're over it but we're really not
                G             D       Em
And I'm not the only one, no, no, I'm not


[Chorus]
G                       D
Children and people you haven't met
            A
And there's family here that still hasn't left
         G             D        A
We'll be waiting, just wait and see (Wait and see)
      G                       D
And I hope you know there's a chair for you
       A
At the Christmas table there's family and food
         G              D        A
We'll be waiting, we'll wait and see
                                G       D A  G D A
If you can join us by the Christmas tree


[Verse 2]
   D                     A            Bm           A
On Christmas Eve, I'm not waiting for reindeer (Oh no)
                G           D      Em
I'm waiting for you here to say hello (Hello)
      D                  A
And I stay awake just in case you do
      Bm      N.C.
And I sit and pray for a Christmas with you
          G               D     Em
It's been lonely, with an empty chair


[Chorus]
G                       D
Children and people you haven't met
            A
And there's family here that still hasn't left
         G             D        A
We'll be waiting, just wait and see (Wait and see)
      G                       D
And I hope you know there's a chair for you
       A
At the Christmas table there's family and food
         G              D        A
We'll be waiting, we'll wait and see
                                G       D A
If you can join us by the Christmas tree


[Outro]
D                  A                 Bm      A
  I guess what I'm asking for is for you here
          G                   D       Em
It's been some long years you know it has
 D                A
Just this once to hold your hand
    Bm                          A
And have a Christmas like we've always planned
         G            D        Em
I'll be waiting, I'll wait and see
             G              A         D
If you could join us by the Christmas tree
