C# A#m
It's not my fault, it wasn't up to you
C# A#m
Christmas eve comes once a year and that will never do
F# D#m
Your image started fading
C# Fm F#maj7/D#
I closed my eyes to see*
F#
Tell me do you close your eyes for me?
C# A#m
C# A#m
Now your door seems half a world away
C# A#m
The price of gasoline is more than I can pay
F# D#m C# Fm F#maj7/D#
Plus I don't have a car I can call my very own
F#
I guess I'll spend another night alone
C# A#m C# A#m
F# G# A#m7
If I could say I’m sorry
F# G# A#m7
Who would I say it to?
F# G# F# G# C# A#m
Besides apologies mean less than dirt to folks like me and you
C# A#m
You know it's true
C# B C#
Should I say too bad
B C#
Or so what?
B A#m
What's appropriate?
A#m F#
Should I show it?
A#m F# A#m F# A#m C#
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
F# D#m
I watched you from a distance
C# Fm F#maj7/D#
For too briefly held you close
F#
I guess that's just the way this story goes
C# A#m C# A#m F# G# A#m7
Notes:
I play the F#maj7/D# 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 F#maj7 or even an D#m would sound fine too :)
