[Verse 1]
 G                  D                  C                    G
Christmas Eve, the first one, in the house we bought last spring
      C                G         D
Your joke was it was just like me a "fixer-upper"
   G                   D             C            G
So we spent half the summer fixing every little thing
          C            G             D
And the other half in our new bedroom under covers


[Pre-Chorus]
     C                 D             G                C
And when the weather turned we fired up the big old furnace
                                                D
In the basement, and we stood and watched it coughing


[Verse 2]
  G                   D           C                 G
Frozen nights, that heater never did make too much heat
           C           G              D
And this afternoon it died and went to furnace heaven


[Chorus]
C        D              G                 C
We midwesterners love talking 'bout the weather
                D                G               C
This year's temperatures been breaking all the records
                D                 G           C
Our pipes are gonna freeze, but you're here kissing me
                       D                    G
This is gonna be the hottest Christmas Eve ever


[Verse 3]
  G                D               C           G
House is freezing cold and I'm on hold with AquaCity
        C                     G            D
But it looks like they can't make it out until tomorrow
    G                  D                 C                     G
And in the Christmas darkness, all the neighbors' lights are burning
        C              G            D
Every chimney with a little smoke rising from it


[Pre-Chorus 2]
      C           D                 G               C
And every morning on the news they talk about the climate
                                     D
And its changes and what are we gonna do about it


[Verse 4]
     G               D                 C               G
Well we got blankets by the fire, the finest discount wine
             C                 G             D
And in your arms it's feeling just as warm as California


[Chorus]
C      D                G                 C
We midwesterners love talking 'bout the weather
                D               G                C
This year's temperatures been breaking all the records
                D                 G            C
Our pipes are gonna freeze, but you're here kissing me
                       D                    G
This is gonna be the hottest Christmas Eve ever


[Chorus]
 C         D             G                 C
People everywhere love talking 'bout the weather
                D                G               C
This year's temperatures been breaking all the records
                D                G            C
Our pipes are gonna freeze, but you're here kissing me
                       D                    G     D C G
This is gonna be the hottest Christmas Eve ever


[Ending]
 C                     D                    G
This is gonna be the hottest Christmas Eve ever
