[Verse]
   C                  Em
Around this time last winter
   Am               G
I noticed how you smiled
   C                 G
At the office party dinner
   Am                        G
Around colleagues you don't like
   C                     Em
Like the glitter ball and music
   Am               G
You decorate the truth
   C               Em
And I guess we fell in love
      Am               G               Am/F
Cause I'm not that different from you


[Chorus]
        G            C
What a hell of a year
         Em
I was all in
                  Am/F
Then you disappeared
      G                  C
Snow falls, you're not around
            Em               Am/F
I was getting used to a quiet town
                  E
Now, here comes Christmas to tear me down

Am      G      F

                  G
Now, here comes Christmas to tear me down


[Interlude]
C    Em   Am    G  F   G
C   Em   Am    G


[Verse]
      C               Em
Now, I'm not one for wishing
      Am            G
On a star so far away
      C                  Em
But they've made the city glisten
      Am               G
With lights you can't escape
      C                  Em
Well there's tinsel in the river
      Am                  G
And the world is on the piss
      C               Em
Still I'd carol sing forever
      Am               G            Am/F
If you turned up on December 25th


[Chorus]
        G            C
What a hell of a year
         Em
I was all in
                  Am/F
Then you disappeared
      G                  C
Snow falls, you're not around
            Em               Am/F
I was getting used to a quiet town
         G         C
What a hell of a time
            Em               Am/F
To have you back on my mind
         G          C
Took a while but I found
         Em                  Am/F
A little piece with you not around
                  E
Now, here comes Christmas to tear me down

Am       G      F

                  G
Now, here comes Christmas to tear me down


[Outro]
C    Em   Am    G  F   G
C   Em   Am    G
