I Won't Be Home For Christmas

[Intro]
C#  C#  A#m  A#m  G#  G#  F#  G#  2x


[Verse]
C#
  Outside the carollers
         A#m
start to sing

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


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

and made them
            G#
all run for shelter


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


[Solo]
C#  C#  A#m  A#m  G#  G#  F#  G#  2x


[Verse]
       C#
Well I guess

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

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

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

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


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