C Am
It's not my fault, it wasn't up to you
C Am
Christmas eve comes once a year and that will never do
F Dm
Your image started fading
C Em Fmaj7/D
I closed my eyes to see*
F
Tell me do you close your eyes for me?
C Am
C Am
Now your door seems half a world away
C Am
The price of gasoline is more than I can pay
F Dm C Em Fmaj7/D
Plus I don't have a car I can call my very own
F
I guess I'll spend another night alone
C Am C Am
F G Am7
If I could say I’m sorry
F G Am7
Who would I say it to?
F G F G C Am
Besides apologies mean less than dirt to folks like me and you
C Am
You know it's true
C A# C
Should I say too bad
A# C
Or so what?
A# Am
What's appropriate?
Am F
Should I show it?
Am F Am F Am C
Call you on the phone and let you know it?

Back at my house there's nothing on TV
The bathroom mirror casts confusing looks from me to me
F Dm
I watched you from a distance
C Em Fmaj7/D
For too briefly held you close
F

C Am C Am F G Am7
Notes:
I play the Fmaj7/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 Fmaj7 or even an Dm would sound fine too :)
