G      C    D        G
Once upon a northern city
G       C      F
Where I lay my head
G      C       D            G
Trying to hear Saint Nick's footsteps
G     C     F
Awake in my €…bed
A       D          A         D
All the presents €…I hope I'll get are
A       D          E
Runnin' €…through my mind


[Prechorus]

D           E            C#m     F#m
But I'm not sure Santa's real anymore
 D       E                C#m        F#m
'Cause I heard it from my teacher at school
D       E    C#m              F#m
I don't care what they say to me
         D                   E
'Cause I still believe it'll be


[Chorus]

E                  A
The best Christmas ever
     C#m            F#m
(The best Christmas ever)
     E              D          E
(The best Christmas ever)
E                  A
The best Christmas ever
     C#m            F#m
(The best Christmas ever)
     E              D     E    A
(The best Christmas ever)


[Verse 2]

A    D          E            A
Many years have passed since then and
A        D      G       E
More has been revealed
A     D        E      A
Now I sit with all my children
A      D       E
I know Santa's real
D       E       C#m            F#m
I can't wait to tuck them in tonight
D        E             C#m      F#m        D
'Cause I need a moment with the love of my life
D       E               C#m          F#m
I don't think she could mean more to me
         D                   E
'Cause I still believe it'll be


[Chorus]

E                  A
The best Christmas ever
     C#m            F#m
(The best Christmas ever)
     E              D          E
(The best Christmas ever)
E                  A
The best Christmas ever
     C#m            F#m
(The best Christmas ever)
     E              D     E    A
(The best Christmas ever)


[Prechorus]

D   E            C#m            F#m
I remember those dark Christmas days
D          E            C#m           F#m
When fairy lights would vanish in the haze
D       E                     C#m              F#m
Sure, I heard a voice sayin' "Stick around" to me
           Bm                         A   E
'Cause you will believe, you and your family
         Bm                 E
Just you wait and see it'll be


[Chorus]

E                  A
The best Christmas ever
     C#m            F#m
(The best Christmas ever)
     E              D          E
(The best Christmas ever)
E                  A
The best Christmas ever
     C#m            F#m
(The best Christmas ever)
     E              D     E    A
(The best Christmas ever)
A         E        F#m
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
F#m       E        D
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
D         E        A
(La-la-la-la-la-la-laaaa)
