[Intro]
C  C  Am  Am  G  G  F  G  2x


[Verse]
C
  Outside the carollers
         Am
start to sing

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


[Solo]

[Verse]
       C
Well I guess

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