It Doesnt Have To Be That Way

C       Cmaj7            C6     C
  Snowy nights and Christmas lights,
F     Em           Dm7   G7
  Icy window panes,
C         Cmaj7     C6       C    D7
  Make me wish that we could be
D7             G7
  Together again

          C     Cmaj7  C6  C
  And the windy winter avenues
F            Em          Dm7
  Just don't seem the same,
G7        C         Cmaj7  C6         C
  And the Christmas carols sound like blues,
          F        G7        C
  But the choir is not to blame


[Chorus]

  G7     C               F         Em
  But it doesn't have to be that way
F         Em         F  Em F    Em C
  What we had should never have ended
                    F     Em
  I'll be dropping by today
F                Em     F   Em F        Dm C  D7
 'Cause we could easily get it together tonight
G7             C           G7
  It's only right


[Verse]

C         Cmaj7       C6        C
  Crowded stores, the corner Santa Claus,
F          Em            G7
  Tinseled afternoons,
          C        Cmaj7      C6           C      D7
  And the sidewalk bands that play their songs
                     G7
  Slightly out of tune

         C      Cmaj7 C6  C
  On the windy winter avenues
F               Em        Dm7     G7
  There walks a lonely man,
      C    Cmaj7    C6      C
  And if I told you who he is,
         F           G7       C
  Well I think you'd understand
