Intro
G Em G Em
OR (depending on your taste)
G G/E G G/E
G Em
It's not my fault, it wasn't up to you
G Em
Christmas eve comes once a year and that will never do
C Am
Your image started fading
G Bm Cmaj7/A
I closed my eyes to see*
C
Tell me do you close your eyes for me?
G Em
G Em
Now your door seems half a world away
G Em
The price of gasoline is more than I can pay
C Am G Bm Cmaj7/A
Plus I don't have a car I can call my very own
C
I guess I'll spend another night alone
G Em G Em
C D Em7
If I could say I’m sorry
C D Em7
Who would I say it to?
C D C D G Em
Besides apologies mean less than dirt to folks like me and you
G Em
You know it's true
G F G
Should I say too bad
F G
Or so what?
F Em
What's appropriate?
Em C
Should I show it?
Em C Em C Em G
Call you on the phone and let you know it?
N.C.
Back at my house there's nothing on TV
The bathroom mirror casts confusing looks from me to me
C Am
I watched you from a distance
G Bm Cmaj7/A
For too briefly held you close
C

G Em G Em C D Em7
Notes:
I play the Cmaj7/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 Cmaj7 or even an Am would sound fine too :)
