[Verse 1]

    A                                    D   E  D   E
The Christmas spirit grows with each new day
    D       E         D        E    A
And it's so close but seems so far away
                             A7
And yet it comes only once a year
               D                     B
And before you know it, it's already here
                D           E
The streets are filled with laughter
    D       E          D             E
And so many hearts are gay

[Verse 2]

A                                  D      E   D   E
Everybody helps to make the spirit bright
    D           E        D         E         A        Amaj7  A7
The houses turn on their Christmas lights at night
               D                   Dm
It's worth the wait the whole year through
        A                       B
Just to make happy someone like you
         D        E        D         E         A     A7
And I'll never outgrow the thrill of Christmas day
