D A Bm A
G D Em


[Verse 1]
D                    A           
  Tell you that it's better now, 
           Bm   A
but I'd be lying
                  G               
And I'm fed up of crying when the 
D      Em
winter comes
D                     A          
  Tell you that we're over it but
       Bm        A
 we're really not
                G             D   
And I'm not the only one, no, no, 
    Em
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
Continues after the ad
         G              D        A
We'll be waiting, we'll wait and see
                                G  
If you can join us by the Christmas
     D A  G D A
 tree


[Verse 2]
   D                     A        
On Christmas Eve, I'm not waiting 
    Bm           A
for reindeer (Oh no)
                G           D 
I'm waiting for you here to say 
     Em
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     
It's been lonely, with an empty 
Em
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  
If you can join us by the Christmas
     D A
 tree

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