I Won't Be Home For Christmas

[Intro]
F#  F#  D#m  D#m  C#  C#  B  C#  2x


[Verse]
F#
  Outside the carollers
         D#m
start to sing

I can't describe the joy
     B
they bring cause joy
                        C#        F#
is something they don't bring me
                       D#m
my girlfriend is by my side
                                     B
from the roof are hanging sickles of ice
                             C#
they're whiny voices get irritating
     B               F#
It's Christmas time again


[Verse]
F#
  So I stand
                        D#m
with a dead smile on my face
                                      B
wondering how much of my time they'll waste
                      C#       F#
oh god I hate Satan’s helpers
                            D#m
And then I guess I must've snapped
                             B
cause I grabbed the baseball bat

and made them
            C#
all run for shelter


[Chorus]
               F#     C#
It's Christmas time again
     D#m                     B
It's time to be nice to the people
           F#        C#
you can't stand all year
    D#m               B
I'm growing tired of all
               F#
this Christmas cheer
    C#               D#m
You people scare me
        B                F#
please stay away from my home
   C#                        D#m
If you don't wanna get beat down
     B
just leave the presents
         C#
and then leave me alone


[Solo]
F#  F#  D#m  D#m  C#  C#  B  C#  2x


[Verse]
       F#
Well I guess

it’s not cool to freak
             D#m
on Christmas Eve cause

the cops came
             B
and arrested me
                  C#       F#
they had unfair advantage

And even though the jail didn't have
  D#m
a tree Christmas
                B
came a night early

cause a guy name Bubba unwrapped
   C#
my package hot damn


[Chorus]
               F#     C#
It's Christmas time again
     D#m                     B
It's time to be nice to the people
           F#        C#
you can't stand all year
    D#m               B
I'm growing tired of all
               F#
this Christmas cheer
    C#               D#m
You people scare me
        B                F#
please stay away from my home
   C#                        D#m
If you don't wanna get beat down
     B
just leave the presents
         C#
and then leave me alone
