This Christmas

D A A7 D

[Verse 1]
D
Mom's been making mince pies in the kitchen
                              A
Time to get the boxes out the loft
A
Put a tree up in the living room, some presents underneath
A7                              D
Don't tell anybody what they've got
D
Dad's been dusting off the decorations
                                    A
And rolling out his usual Christmas cheer
A
There's more lights on the outside of our house
         A7                  D
Than the whole West End this year

[Pre Chorus]
D
And I love you, I miss you, and I can't wait to see you
                                A
And forget about all that other business
A
All that really matters now
        D
Is this Christmas

[Chorus]
     G
This Christmas I will hold you
         D                           A
Like the way that I told you I would hold you
     D
Last Christmas
          G                            D                 Bm
And we'll sing Christmas songs like we sang when we were young
    D        A                  D
And we still believed in Father Christmas
     A
This Christmas
N.C              D
Oh, oh, oh, this Christmas

[Interlude]
D A A7 D

[Verse 2]
     D
This Christmas is for cans of snow
     D
Some tacky plastic mistletoe
                          A
A big, sloppy kiss on the chops
A
This Christmas is for turkey, covered head to toe in gravy
    A7                              D
And don't forget about the Brussels sprouts
     D
This Christmas is for being lazy, crap TV, Monopoly
                    A
And maybe a game of charades
A
We'll be mixing our drinks again

Who knows what will happen then
     A7                              D
Just don't let me play my brother at cards

[Pre Chorus]
         D
'Cause I love him and I miss him, and I can't wait to see him
                                A
And forget about all that other business
A
All that really matters now
        D
Is this Christmas

[Bridge]
       D
Well I know that we argued
    D
I'm sorry I annoyed you
D                           A
Now I'm looking for your forgiveness
A
All that really matters now
A
All that really matters now
A                                      D
All that really matters now... is this Christmas

     G
This Christmas I will hold you
         D                           A
Like the way that I told you I would hold you
     D
Last Christmas
          G                            D                 Bm
And we'll sing Christmas songs like we sang when we were young
    D        A                  D
And we still believed in Father Christmas

     G
This Christmas I will hold you
         D                           A
Like the way that I told you I would hold you
     D
Last Christmas
          G                            D                 Bm
And we'll sing Christmas songs like we sang when we were young
    D        A                  D
And we still believed in Father Christmas
     A
This Christmas
A                D
Oh, oh, oh, this Christmas
     A
This Christmas
N.C              D
Oh, oh, oh, this Christmas
