standard tuning, no capo.

When I first met you, you said you would
Always love me, if I would just me good
I thought we’d go through life, your hand in mine
But this house is empty now, it must be Christmas time

I feel my love is dying
Outside the reindeer flying
So I just watched them disappear

–Chorus–
Don’t call me Christmas, I don’t love you any more
Gave my whole life to you, and what do I get
I’m just so lonely
Go spread your happiness, around the globe
But you should know that I won’t wait for you
You’ll have to get a new, Mrs. Christmas

You bring your presents, around the world
But what do you get up to, with all those other girls
Tell them you’ll give them, anything they wish
And then you move on, to someone else’s list

I was the first one to fall
The one that you’d ignore
And now I’m stuck here on my own

–Chorus–
Don’t call me Christmas, I don’t love you any more
Gave my whole life to you, and what do I get
I’m just so lonely
Go spread your happiness, around the globe
But you should know that I won’t wait for you
You’ll have to get a new, Mrs. Christmas

–For this part, you can play C E7 Am G quietly or just not play at all —
Spoken:
You promised me paradise
But here I am in the snow and ice
My heart froze many years ago
Another Christmas Eve alone

–Chorus–
Don’t call me Christmas, I don’t love you any more
Gave my whole life to you, and what do I get
I’m just so lonely
Go spread your happiness, around the globe
But you should know that I won’t wait for you
You’ll have to get a new, Mrs. Christmas
