[Chorus]
G                         Am
Every holiday I feel that depression
Am            Am
From all this division
        G                      G
And we don't care, no we don't care
           Em            Em7                   C    C
We're just sitting in my garage, talking to my aunt
          G                          C
About the storm surge, icebergs, and spring in New England
      G                             C                      C
And a new ring on an old friend and mothers get impatient


[Verse 1]
    G                               Em                      Em
But maybe it's all worth it just to see if we can outrun it
      C           C/B        Am
And I look at you across the room
     C         B       Em       Em
Your eyes like sinking balloons
      G                  D               G         C
Merry Christmas, babe, I hope we make it through

G C


[Bridge]
    G              C
And it gets heavy, it starts raining
    G            C                 G                    G7
And I start noticing the placement of your hand upon my spine
    Am                 Am
The fading love is the darkest kind
    G             C
But somehow we'll forget tonight
       G             C
And go up on ladders stringing lights
    G            Am        D7
The gutter never shined so bright


[Chorus]
     G                         Am
When every holiday I feel that depression
Am               Am
From all of this pressure
       G                       G
And we don't care, no we don't care
        Em                 Em7                 C    C
We just hope it don't stay long, talking to my aunt
          G                           C
About the warm earth, cold words, and men that make decisions
G                          C                      C
Lying on the TV 'cause the money skips the women


[Verse 2]
    G                               Em                   Em
But maybe it's all worth it just to see if we can outrun it
      C           C/B        Am
And I look at you across the room
     C         B       Em       Em
Your eyes like sinking balloons
      G                  D               G      
Merry Christmas, babe, I hope we make it through

[Chorus]
G                         Am
Every holiday I feel that depression
Am               Am
From all of this pressure
    G                               Em
And maybe it's all worth it just to see if we can outrun it
      C           C/B        Am
And I look at you across the room
     C         B       Em       Em
Your eyes like sinking balloons
      G                  C
Merry Christmas, babe, I hope we make it through
