B G#m E F#
[Verse 1]
B
Watching from afar, the Hollywood sign
G#m7 G#m
Boulevards and palm trees and cloud nine
E Em C#m7
Watching from afar, happy families all around me
F#
Mmm
B
Going for a ride in a Cabriolet
G#m7 G#m
The Malibu sunset, speeding on the freeway
E Em C#m7
Watching from afar, lovebirds on the beach all around me
F#
Mmm
[Pre-Chorus]
F# E D#m G#m7 C#
And I know it never snows in California but somehow
E
Subzero in my heart without you
E F#
So shake it like a snow globe
[Chorus 1]
B
"Merry Christmas" written on a postcard, is it
G#m7 G#m
A Merry Christmas now that you are so far?
E F#
A Merry Christmas, the happiest season of all
[Verse 2]
F# B
And in Santa Monica they're dancin' 'round the tree
G#m7
And further down in Venice, the land meets the sea
E Em C#m7 F#
My feet in the Pacific, wonderin' if you think of me
[Pre-Chorus]
F# E D#m7 G#m7 C#
And I know it never snows in California but somehow
E
Subzero in my heart without you
F#
So shake it like a snow globe
[Chorus 2]
B
"Merry Christmas" written on a postcard, is it
G#m7 G#m
A Merry Christmas now that you are so far?
E F#
A Merry Christmas, the happiest season of all
B
Merry Christmas, didn't get your letter, is it
G#m7
A Merry Christmas? Hopin' you feel better, now there's
E F#
No Merry Christmas, not the happiest season at all
{Bridge]
C#m7 Bm E
And if this was a movie I'd make it just in time
B
For the very last flight to Stockholm
C#m7 D#m E
And find you underneath the mistletoe and
E F#
Forget all that was
F#
But this ain't a movie
[Chorus 3]
B
"Merry Christmas" written on a postcard, is it
G#m7
A Merry Christmas now that you are so far?
E F#
A Merry Christmas, the happiest season of all
B
Merry Christmas, didn't get your letter, is it
G#m7
A Merry Christmas? Hopin' you feel better, now there's
E F#
No Merry Christmas, not the happiest season at all
F# B
'Cause it never snows in California
