Christmas With My DadCifra

Intro Em  C  Em  C  

Em                C         G 
Christmas is so freaking annoying 
     Am            C                B 
The ornaments and cards are all so fake 
 Em              C          G 
Candy canes all taste like ten-year-old toothpaste 
     Am           C                B 
And gingerbread gives me a raging stomachache 
Em                C                    G 
The carols are so stale and relentless 
Am                                  C             B 
They carry through the air like the smell of something bad 
                   C                 D 
But the one thing I look forward to 
        G     F   Em 
This time of year 
C                 D#            G   A 
Is spending Christmas with my dad 
C                  D#            C  Em  C  
    Spending Christmas with my dad 

( Em  E ) 

Em                C                  G 
He comes in with his arms full of presents 
Am                      C                   B   B7 
His smile is wide and his hair is full of snow 
Em              C                  G 
He pulls out a guitar and lays down a classic bar 
Am                C                 Em  G  D 
Of an underrated song from long ago 
             Em      C                G 
And when he sings my heart flies wide open 
Am             C           B 
I'm happy and, I guess, a little sad 
C                 D               G              E 
Cause he doesn't visit me, no I just watch him on TV 
C       D#                            G 
That's how I spend Christmas with my dad 
A                C   D# 
Merry Christmas, Daddy! 
                      G 
That's Christmas with my dad 

C                           G 
I've DVRed his shows since I was nine 
C5                        G 
I memorized each song and every line 
A  
When Mom's not home, I turn them on and revel in the sound 
C                             Cm      D             B 
It's what the house would be like if Dad had stayed around 
C                    Cm          G 
I'd ask him bout the cities that he toured 
C         Cm                G 
He'd show me how to play a 7th Chord 
A 
It sucks to only know your dad from specials on TV 
C                          Cm                            B 
I wish he thought I was as special as his specials are to me 

( Em  C  Em  C ) 

                                G 
Christmas is so freaking depressing 
Am             C             B 
Commercialism, suicides, and snow 
Em          C                           G 
Mom goes on defense, and Bob's just kind of dense 
Am                C             B 
They're the only family that I know 
Em                   C           G 
But tomorrow when I turn on the TV 
Am                   C               B7 
I'll see the family that I could've had 
           C            D            G       F       E  
It's the one thing I look forward to this time of year 
C        D#              G 
Spending Christmas with my dad 
A               Bm     
Merry Christmas, Daddy! 
Em                                B 
Maybe one day he will be on this side of the TV 
G                                  A 
We'll make fun of the carolers and burn down the tree 
C                               D      F         E 
And that's the greatest present there could ever be 
C            D#             Em 
Dad spending Christmas with me 
A                   C 
Won't you be there, Daddy? 
D#                F       Em 
Spend your Christmas with me!
