[Intro]
N.C.
Powder sugar in the snow
N.C.                       
Candy cane and mistletoe...
N.C.                           
(Can I please get an espresso?)


[Verse 1]
 G                  Am
Back to the heat in mid-July
      C                  G
I was driving outside to Nat King Cole
G             Am
Everybody was asking why
         C
It ain't Christmas time
            G
But when it hits you well you know


[Pre-Chorus]
 C             G
Then December rolled around
    C                 G
The snow was falling down
 Em                 Am
Everything decked in red and green
 D
Then Santa decided to give me a ring! (Ok Boomer!)

And he said...


[Chorus]
 G                   C
You’ve been good but I won't lie
    Am                D
The fire of Christmas spirit has died
 G                    C
Grab your friends and sing this song
   Am                    D
It goes like this and it won't take long
   G            Am
No need to overthink it
     C                      G
Just open up your heart and sing it
        G Am C G (2x)
Oh oo oh


[Verse 2]
  G                   Am
I didn’t even ask for things on my wishlist
      C               G
Cause all I need this Christmas
        G**      Am
Is your love And attention
   C*
So pass me my coat
  N.C.
And let's get on the road
 N.C.
We can cut down a tree
 N.C.
And some hot cocoa drinks
 N.C.
The road might be icy
                   G*
But who gives a .. bleep!


[Pre-Chorus]
    C             G
And then December rolled around
    C                G
The snow was falling down
Em                       Am
Everything decked out in red and green
D
Then Santa decided to give me a ring! (Ok Boomer!)

And he said...


[Chorus]
G                    C
You've been good but I won't lie
    Am                D
The fire of Christmas spirit has died
G                     C
Grab your friends and sing this song
   Am                    D
It goes like this and it won't take long
G              C
No need to overthink it
     Am                     G
Just open up your heart and sing it
Am                        C G
 Open up your heaaaaaart!
Am                        C G
 Go out and sing itttttt!


[Outro]
(G C D played on repeat in the background)
G
Listen, I know we all like being on our
C
phones all the time but, I think we need
D
a reality check. And, some of us,
G
definitely need to check our screen time,
C
I have no room to talk but, can we go back
D
to the old days? And actually enjoy the
G
Holidays?
