[Verse]
F
  Outside the carollers
         Dm
start to sing

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


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

and made them
            C
all run for shelter


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

[Verse]
       F
Well I guess

it’s not cool to freak
             Dm
on Christmas Eve cause

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

And even though the jail didn't have
  Dm
a tree Christmas
                A#
came a night early

cause a guy name Bubba unwrapped
   C
my package hot damn


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