David Ford - Have Yourself a Bitter Little Christmas ------------------------------ Key of F ------------------------------ VERSE 1: C Cmaj7 Am The kids are making snowmen out of mud G F It makes me think about us C Does that mean something? F I think it does Em But let's not talk about it C Cmaj7 Am Conversation only makes us weak G F Consequently we don't speak C F Not with conviction nor belief C F I know my head, I know my feet Em G And now they're pointing out the door CHORUS: F G C Cmaj7 Am G And so I'm leaving you on Christmas day F G C (Cmaj7) Am (G) Forgive my timing but I simply have a mind to run away F G C Cmaj7 Am And I don't care what all the people say G F G I say peace and goodwill starts with getting the hell out of here VERSE 2: C Cmaj7 Am Decorations sit and gather dust G F It makes me think about us C Does that mean something? F Yeah, I think it does Em But let's not talk about it C Cmaj7 Am Boxes of the shiny and the cheap G F With nothing permanent to keep C F Sit in high spirits for a month C F And when the sherry's all been drunk Em G There's nothing much that keeps me here G C F Oh my dear CHORUS: G C Cmaj7 Am G I'm leaving you on Christmas day F G C (Cmaj7) Am (G) In truth, I think we never really liked each other anyway F G C Cmaj7 Am And I don't care what all the people say G F G C Cos I say peace and goodwill starts with getting the hell out of here, alive VERSE 3: C Cmaj7 Am The house is cold, the boiler's packing up G F It makes me think about us C Does that mean something? F Yes, well I think it does Em But let's not dwell upon that C Cmaj7 Am They say outside it's minus 8 degrees G F I swear it ain't as cold as me C F I know there is no winter breeze C F To make your heart begin to freeze Em G I know it happened years ago CHORUS: F G C Cmaj7 Am G And so, I'm leaving you on Christmas day F G C (Cmaj7) Am (G) In truth, I think we never really liked each other anyway F G C Cmaj7 Am And I don't care what all the people say G F G (Em) C Cos I say have yourself a bitter little Christmas and a twisted New Year
