E     A     E       A

[Verse 1]
E                         A
Now the winter nights are drawing in
B                      A
As the tired last leaves fall
        E              A
Another year is nearly over
Emaj7                        F#m7
And I’m waiting for... you to call
Cdim          C#m     G#m   C#m
If you’re not home by xmas day
A#dim                Am7
It wont matter to me anyway

[Chorus 1]
         A          B       E
When the bells ring out of time
A            B      A      B
Without you there, I won’t care
A                             E
If you can’t get through the snow
Am                      E
It won’t be xmas day at all

[Verse 2]
E                        A
Everything’s just as it should be
Emaj7                    A
Friends and family gather round
E                           A
But the room still feels so empty
Emaj7             F#m7
Without you being round
G#7      C#m       G#7   C#m   A#m
The only gift I’ll ever need
                            Am7
Is you standing there right next to me

[Chorus 2]
         A          B       E
When the kids sing out of tune
A            B      A      B
It won’t be the same, and it’s such a shame
 A                  B        E
If I can’t share it all with you
Am                           F#m7
Ill sleep till xmas day is through
E     Cdim
ooh ooh ooh
                       G#dim   C#m
But don’t you leave me all alone
E    A   B    E
mmm mmm mmm mmm

[Solo]
E    A   E    A    E    A    Emaj7    F#m7

[Chorus 3]
G#7            C#m    G#   C#m
If you’re not home by xmas day
A#m6                  Am     A
It wont matter to me anyway
                    B       E
When the bells ring out of time
A           B      A       B
Without you there, I won’t care
A                           B    E
If you can’t make it through the snow
Am                     A     B
It won’t be xmas day at all

[solo 2]
E    A    B    A    B

[Chorus 4]
     B                  B    E
If I can’t share it all with you
Am                         E
Ill sleep till xmas day is through
