10 Christmases ago
D#m            C#sus4
how were we to know
         F#
that the cold will be freezing
    Badd9
the world would be white
    D#m       C#sus4  Badd9
but no one is leaving presents tonight


F#                 Badd9
That word has been hushed
D#m           C#sus4
it's almost a joke
    F#
The idea of Christmas
    Badd9
Somewhere became dumb
    D#m      C#sus4   Badd9
Now December is just another sad month



E                F#
But Somewhere in winter misery
E            F#
People still dream secretly
     E                 F#
Of a time they used to know
     E                     F#
When people would smile at snow


           F#                          Badd9
There were sweeties and chocolates and toys and lights
D#m                     C#sus4
Carrots and cookies for Santa tonight
    F#                          Badd9
Hot chocolates and crackers and family smiles
D#m                         C#sus4
Laughter with loved ones we hadn't seen in a while
F#                       Badd9
Bad jokes and brandy and music and games
D#m                           C#sus4
Watching old movies while the fireplace fades
F#                       Badd9
Jumpers and cinnamon and glittery trees
   D#m          C#sus4        Badd9
Oh remember how good it could be
     D#m          C#sus4        Badd9
Yeah remember how good it could be

F#             Badd9
So people plod on
D#m                 C#sus4
with their everyday lives
    F#
You might catch a glimpse
          Badd9
If you're walking past a dump
    D#m                      C#sus4
The slight sparkle of tinsel covered in mud

    F#                    Badd9
But some are sick of this grey
D#m         C#sus4
They form a plan, they say
      F#
We'll bring back Christmas
      Badd9
We'll put on a show
D#m           C#sus4
Sure we'll be laughed at
Badd9
But we all know

     E            F#
that somewhere in winter misery
E         F#
We all still dream secretly
E                      F#
Of a time they used to know
     E                     F#
When people would smile at snow


           F#                          Badd9

    F#                          Badd9
Hot chocolates and crackers and family smiles
D#m                         C#sus4
Laughter with loved ones we hadn't seen in a while
F#                       Badd9

D#m                           C#sus4

   D#m          C#sus4        Badd9
Oh remember how good it could be
     D#m          C#sus4        Badd9
Yeah remember how good it could be

F#                        Badd9
So they gathered all they could
D#m                         C#sus4
It wasn't much but it would do
         F#
When the sun rose on Christmas
        Badd9
And the snowy day begun
        D#m           C#sus4
For the first time in years
Badd9
Carols were sung

F#           Badd9
First people chuckled
D#m                         C#sus4
Then their eyes filled with tears
         F#
Soon the whole world was singing
Badd9
Church bells were ringing
D#m         C#sus4        Badd9
How have we missed out on all of these years?

E                F#
Now somewhere in winter misery
E              F#
Old excitement makes people happy
E                F#
And now they all know
     E                    F#
That people will smile at snow


          F#                          Badd9
There are sweeties and chocolates and toys and lights
D#m                     C#sus4
Carrots and cookies for Santa tonight
    F#                          Badd9
Hot chocolates and crackers and family smiles
D#m                         C#sus4

D#m                           C#sus4

F#                       Badd9
Jumpers and cinnamon and glittery trees
   D#m      C#sus4      Badd9
Oh look how good it can be
     D#m      C#sus4      Badd9
Yeah look how good it can be
