Every Year

C D Em 2x

[Verse 1]
C         D       Em
It's that time of year
              C        D          
A time that I wish you were still 
Em
here
              C        D    Bm
A time that I know I'm not alone
          Em   C
But still feel so

[Pre-chorus]
C    D       Em
I go back in time
                 C     D       Em
Each time that I see a child's eyes
                C         D   
The wonder, the glee, the sheer 
     Bm
surprise
     Em       C
When you were here

[Chorus]
    C                Em
The songs I play are still the same
    G                 C
But look how much has changed
                          Em
The smells, the cold, the mistletoe
      G                   C
Every year they all remain

    Em            C
But you don't, you don't

[Verse 2]
    C         D       Em
And it's that time in life
               C      D        Em
It's not about me and that's alright
            C          D         Bm
And now I believe when you would say
        Em           C
I would give it all away

[Pre-chorus]
C           D      Em
And I don't need a thing
               C        D   Em
It's not about gifts or caroling
                C        D      
But feeling the joy that we can 
Bm
bring
           Em  C
When we're all here

[Chorus]
    C                 Em
The songs we play are still the same
    G                 C
But look how much has changed
                          Em
The smells, the cold, the mistletoe
      G                   C
Every year they all remain
      Em                  C
Every year is not the same

[Bridge]
    G
And as each new year passes
 G
Another child is born
  Em
A new little angel with your loving 
warmth
         D*                        
And they look just a little bit 
  C*
like you
         D*                       
And they wish they could meet you 
C*
too

[Chorus]
    C                 Em
The songs we sang are still the same
    G                 C
But look how much has changed
                          Em
The lights, the snow, the fire aglow
      G                   C
Every year they all remain
    Em                    C
But it's just not the same
          Em*        C*
Cause you don't, you don't
