[Intro]
D#  D#  Cm  Cm  A#  A#  G#  A#  2x


[Verse]
D#
  Outside the carollers
         Cm
start to sing

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


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

and made them
            A#
all run for shelter


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

[Verse]
       D#
Well I guess

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

the cops came
             G#
and arrested me
                  A#       D#
they had unfair advantage

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

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


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