[Verse 1]
G C G
Is this the room where we learned how to cry
Em C G
Tears of festive joy for the very first time?
G C G
Was there laughter and kindness echoing these halls?
Em C G
And its sweet flickering candlelight on stands on these walls?
G E7 Am Cm
If I could go back to any place in mind,
Bm C D
Christmas at our house was our favourite time.
[Chorus]
G Am
Christmas at our house was a time for good cheer,
D C G
So be sure to remember to not shed a tear
G E7
For the loved ones we've lost.
Am Cm
Forever hold them dear.
Bm C D G
Christmas at our house was the best time of year.

[Verse 2]
G C G
Or is this the room where we learned how to give?
Em C G
Boxes with ribbons and presents within.
G C G
With the candles for the reindeer and whiskey for Saint Nick.
Em C G
Did a bowl smell of spruce meat, the sweet taste of fig?
G C G
And we sang to the cinders and logs on the fire,
Em Am7 D
While the TV ran repeats of It's A Wonderful Life.
G E Am Cm
I remember it so well and I will till I die.
Bm C D
Christmas at our house was the happiest time.
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
G C G
This is the room where we said our goodbyes,
Em C G
Where Mom held your hand from dusk until light.
G C G
Now at the head of our table, there's an empty chair.
Em C G
Who on this green earth will carve the turkey this year?
G E7 Am Cm
And if I could go back to any place in mind,
Bm C D
Christmas at our house was the happiest time.
[Chorus]
G Am
Christmas at our house was a time for good cheer,
D C G
So be sure to remember to not shed a tear
G E7
For the loved ones we've lost.

Forever hold them dear.

Christmas at our house was the best time of year.
