Intro:
G (x3) Cadd9 D

G
Christmas night, another fight
                 Cadd9 D
Tears we cried a flood
G
Got all kinds of poison in
             Cadd9 D
Poison in my blood

G
I took my feet

To Oxford Street
                  Cadd9 D
Trying to right a wrong
G
Just walk away 

Those windows say
                          Cadd9 D
But I can't believe she's gone

Cadd9
When you're still waiting for the snow to fall
                         D2           G
Doesn't really feel like Christmas at all

G (x3) Cadd9 D

Em7
Up above candles on air flicker
        Cadd9            G
Oh they flicker and they float
G
But I'm up here holding on
             Dsus4          D
To all those chandeliers of hope

Em7
Like some drunken Elvis singing
Cadd9               G
I go singing out of tune
G
Saying how I always loved you darling
Dsus4        D
And I always will

Cadd9
Oh when you're still waiting for the snow to fall
                         D2           
Doesn't really feel like Christmas at all
G
Still waiting for the snow to fall
                            D2
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all

Those Christmas lights

Light up the street

Down where the sea and city meet

Those Christmas lights

Light up the street

Maybe they'll bring her back to me

Then all my troubles will be gone
