At the gifts we despise over mulled wine

With you

On the tenty-fifth Day,
                                         Bm7
Of the twelth month the sleigh bells are in time
        D    B5
Ringing true
                   Asus2
How we cling each Noel,
          B5        A/C#    D5
To that snowflake's hope in hell

 Well the the weather is cruel
                                  Bm7 
But this season of Yule warms the heart
             D      A
But it still hurts
E/A    E7/A        A     E
You've got your career
                                  Bm7
Spent the best part of last year apart
       D       B5
And it hurts
                 Asus2
And that's why I pray
B              A/C#      D5
Each and every Christmas Day
B5            A5 E/G# F#5  D5
That it won't end________

Christmas  Time,   just let them ring in peace


F#5                             E5
Poised underneath the mistletoe leaf
     A5
When you're not here
B5                        A/C#
You went away, upon Boxing Day
    D5              E5      D/F#      E/G#       A5
Now how the hell am I gonna make it into the New Year

ОК, I did this by ear,so I'm not 100% sure the chords are right, but it sounds
good to me. And there's probably plenty of errors in the lyrics too, but that
doesn't really matter. Enjoy!
