[Verse 1]
G                    Cadd9
How do you know that it's winter again?
G                       Cadd9
For me, it's the hallways
G                             Cadd9
And gathering 'round, spewing empty amens
G                      D/F# Cadd9
And laughing hard with eyes glazed
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm          Em
And I wanna be,
Am        G
more than anything
Am               G     D/F#
Just a hair less tragic
Bm          Em
So let's go get a tree
F
and stuff it in the trunk
Cadd9                     D/F#
Just to Google how to put it up
 
[Chorus]
G                       D/F#         Cadd9
And you wonder how your parents did it
G           D/F#              Cadd9
When do you know somewhere is home?
G                          D/F#      Cadd9
It'd be great to have some Christmas spirit
A
Or friends that live close
        Cadd9                   Cm
But I'm just as much a fantasist
As I'm a lone ghost

[Verse 2]
G                      Cadd9
Last night I went on a walk after 1
G                         Cadd9
Big Dipper was a spectacle
G                                    Cadd9
But it didn't even come close to the frеshly-mowed lawns
G                       D/F#   Cadd9
And the wasteful outdoor light fеstivals
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm           Em
No you don't understand,
Am                G
I deeply love the sentiment
Am            G                 D/F#
If only Santa wasn't spoiled at six
Bm                   Em
It'd probably all be different,
F                 G
and come December 10th
Cadd9                             D/F#
I probably wouldn't be seasonally anemic (Hahaha)
 
One, two, three
 
[Chorus]
G                       D/F#     Cadd9
And you wonder how your parents did it
G               D/F#          Cadd9
When do you know somewhere is home?
G                          D/F#       Cadd9
It'd be great to have some Christmas spirit
A
Or friends that live close
        Cadd9                   Cm
But I'm just as much a fantasist
As I'm a lone ghost
 
[Outro]
G D/F# Cadd9
Oh, ooh, oh
G
I'm a lone ghost
