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

Christmas eve comes once a year and that will never do
G# Fm
Your image started fading
D# Gm G#maj7/F
I closed my eyes to see*

Tell me do you close your eyes for me?

Now your door seems half a world away

The price of gasoline is more than I can pay

Plus I don't have a car I can call my very own

Back at my house there's nothing on TV
The bathroom mirror casts confusing looks from me to me
G# Fm
I watched you from a distance
D# Gm G#maj7/F

Notes:
I play the G#maj7/F 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 G#maj7 or even an Fm would sound fine too :)
