I Won't Be Home For Christmas

[Intro]
B  B  G#m  G#m  F#  F#  E  F#  2x


[Verse]
B
  Outside the carollers
         G#m
start to sing

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


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

and made them
            F#
all run for shelter


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

[Verse]
       B
Well I guess

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

the cops came
             E
and arrested me
                  F#       B
they had unfair advantage

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

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


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