OR (depending on your taste)
F# F#/D# F# F#/D#
F# D#m
It's not my fault, it wasn't up to you
F# D#m
Christmas eve comes once a year and that will never do
B G#m
Your image started fading
F# A#m Bmaj7/G#
I closed my eyes to see*
B
Tell me do you close your eyes for me?
F# D#m
F# D#m
Now your door seems half a world away
F# D#m
The price of gasoline is more than I can pay
B G#m F# A#m Bmaj7/G#
Plus I don't have a car I can call my very own
B
I guess I'll spend another night alone
F# D#m F# D#m
B C# D#m7
If I could say I’m sorry
B C# D#m7
Who would I say it to?
B C# B C# F# D#m
Besides apologies mean less than dirt to folks like me and you
F# D#m
You know it's true
F# E F#
Should I say too bad
E F#
Or so what?
E D#m
What's appropriate?
D#m B
Should I show it?
D#m B D#m B D#m F#
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
B G#m
I watched you from a distance
F# A#m Bmaj7/G#
For too briefly held you close
B
I guess that's just the way this story goes
F# D#m F# D#m B C# D#m7
Notes:
I play the Bmaj7/G# 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 Bmaj7 or even an G#m would sound fine too :)
