C
Every year I make a list
F G
Check it twice, don’t want to miss
C
My family and friends I’ve known
F G
Come back to me like falling snow
C G F G
And as I put the pen to page and think of your familiar face
C F G
And what I’d give, just to write your name
[Chorus]
C
Christmas time is not the same
C G
When I was a kid, it was my favourite day
C
Now hurts to love and it hurts to give
C G
Knowing we’re gonna lose each other
F G C
But maybe that’s what makes it a gift
[Verse 2]
C
I can see that child again
F G C
Waking up their mother and their father
F G
Asking “can I please open one gift early”
C G F G
And as I watch the spell get broken long before the sun’s awoken
C F G
Wish I could say, you're gonna miss these days
[Chorus]
C
Christmas time is not the same
C G
When I was a kid, it was my favourite day
C
Now hurts to love and it hurts to give
C G
Knowing we’re gonna lose each other
F G
But maybe that’s what makes it
[Bridge]
F G C
And I still can hear all the songs and the games
F G C
When you still were here and I could just call out your name
C/A
And say:
[Chorus]
C
Christmas time is not the same
C G
When I was a kid, it was my favourite day
C
Now hurts to love and it hurts to give
C G
Knowing we’re gonna lose each other
F G
But maybe that’s what makes it
[[Chorus]
C
Christmas time is not the same
C G
When I was a kid, it was my favourite day
C
Now hurts to love and it hurts to give
C G
Knowing we’re gonna lose each other
F G C
But maybe that’s what makes it a gift
