[Verse 1]
 
                 B     C#m
These are your good years.
      Abm        E
Don't take my advice.
          B          C#m       Abm     E
You never wanted the nice boys anyway...
           B    C#m
And I'm of good cheer.
         Abm                 E
'Cause I've been checking my list,
    B               C#m         Abm
The gifts you're receiving from me,
     E
Will be...
 
E/G   Abm
One awkward silence.
E
And two hopes.
    E/G             Abm
You cry yourself to sleep,
           E
Staying up, waiting by the phone.
    E/G   Abm
And all I want this year,
E                           E/G             Abm
Is for you to dedicate your last breathe to me.
           E    Em
Before you bury yourself alive...
 
 
[Chorus]
 
B F/B      E        F#
Don't come home for Christmas.
B          F/B          E
You're the last thing I wanna see.
F#             B F/B E F#
Underneath the tree.
E
Merry Christmas,
Em
I could care less.

B     C#m       Abm
Happy New Years baby.
E
You owe me,
    B         C#m    Abm       E
The best gift I will ever ask for.
B     C#m     Abm       E
Don't call me up, when the snow comes down.
B        C#m          Abm        E
It's the only thing I want this year.
 
E/G   Abm
One awkward silence.
E
And two hopes.
    E/G             Abm
You cry yourself to sleep,
           E
Staying up, waiting by the phone.
    E/G   Abm
And all I want this year,

Before you bury yourself alive...

Don't come home for Christmas.

You're the last thing I wanna see.

Underneath the tree.

I could care less.
