[Intro]
D  D  Bm  Bm  A  A  G  A  2x


[Verse]
D
  Outside the carollers
         Bm
start to sing

I can't describe the joy
     G
they bring cause joy
                        A        D
is something they don't bring me
                       Bm
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
                        Bm
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
                            Bm
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
     Bm                     G
It's time to be nice to the people
           D        A
you can't stand all year
    Bm               G
I'm growing tired of all
               D
this Christmas cheer
    A               Bm
You people scare me
        G                D
please stay away from my home
   A                        Bm
If you don't wanna get beat down
     G
just leave the presents
         A
and then leave me alone


[Solo]
D  D  Bm  Bm  A  A  G  A  2x


[Verse]
       D
Well I guess

it’s not cool to freak
             Bm
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
  Bm
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
     Bm                     G
It's time to be nice to the people
           D        A
you can't stand all year
    Bm               G
I'm growing tired of all
               D
this Christmas cheer
    A               Bm
You people scare me
        G                D
please stay away from my home
   A                        Bm
If you don't wanna get beat down
     G
just leave the presents
         A
and then leave me alone
