It's not my fault, it wasn't up to you

Christmas eve comes once a year and that will never do
C# A#m
Your image started fading
G# Cm C#maj7/A#
I closed my eyes to see*
C#
Tell me do you close your eyes for me?
G# Fm
G# Fm
Now your door seems half a world away
G# Fm
The price of gasoline is more than I can pay
C# A#m G# Cm C#maj7/A#
Plus I don't have a car I can call my very own
C#
I guess I'll spend another night alone

C# D# Fm7
If I could say I’m sorry
C# D# Fm7
Who would I say it to?
C# D# C# D# G# Fm
Besides apologies mean less than dirt to folks like me and you
G# Fm
You know it's true

Should I say too bad

Or so what?

What's appropriate?

Should I show it?

Back at my house there's nothing on TV
The bathroom mirror casts confusing looks from me to me
C# A#m
I watched you from a distance
G# Cm C#maj7/A#
For too briefly held you close
C#
I guess that's just the way this story goes
G# Fm G# Fm C# D# Fm7
Notes:
I play the C#maj7/A# like this:
e|-3-
B|-5-
G|-4-
D|-5-
A|-0-
E|-x-
This chord is my best guess of what to play here, but if that's too tricky,
a C#maj7 or even an A#m would sound fine too :)
