Standard

# Intro   G Em D C D

G                             Em     
Outside the carolers start to sing,
                              C                                        D 
I can't describe the joy they bring, cause joy is something they don't bring me.
G                      Em
My girlfriend is by my side,
                                    C                                   D
from the roof are hanging cicles of ice, they're whining voices get irritating.
                       G
It's Christmas time again

G                                  Em                                          C
So I stand with a dead smile on my face, wondering how much of my time they'll waste
                             D
Oh God, I hate these Satan's helpers.
G                              Em                                    C
And then I guess I must have snapped, because I grabbed the baseball bat,
                           D
and made them all run for shelter.

# Chorus
                G       D          Em                     C               G 
It's Christmas time   again, it's time to be nice to the people you can't stand,
    D         Em               C                  G          D             Em
all year, I'm growing tired of all this Christmas cheer. You people scare me, 
        C                G        D                        Em          C 
please stay away from my home, if you don't wanna get beat down, just leave the
               D             G
presents, and then leave me alone.

G Em D C D (2x)

       G                                         Em
Well I guess it's not cool to freak on Christmas Eve, 
                                 C                         D
cause the cops came and arrested me, they had an unfair advantage.
G                                       Em
And even though, the jail didn't have a tree,
                          C                                        D
Christmas came a night early, cause a guy named Bubba unwrapped my package.

It's Christmas time   again, it's time to be nice to the people you can't stand,

all year, I'm growing tired of all this Christmas cheer. You people scare me,
