               G
You´re feeling down
            C                     Bm
And there´s no one around who can see
        Am         D       G
Why you keep your head up high
        Bm               Am            D
Little sister´s running around with candy
         G
And you don´t
        C                       Bm
Wanna suffer your pride so you shut up
            Am      D      G
While your mommy's crying loud
          Bm            Am
Daddy´s decorating the wall
         D
And the christmas trees

          Am
it's the worst of days
        C                D
so you lay down in your bed

     G    Em 
And oh, Christmas could have been good
G     Em
Oh, Christmas could have been good
        Am             Bm             Am     Bm         G
It´s a shame what you have with your family affair but still
Em
Christmas could have been good
G    Em
Oh, Christmas could have been good
       Am            Bm         Am             Bm
Was a dream that you had but a dream that has passed away

G     Em    Am    C     D
                G
Your house was made
 C                            Bm
Of blood and tears you wanna pray
Am       D     G
From the opera
                Bm        Am
But you got no money to escape
       D
from tragedy

        G
Bad luck girl
      C                               Bm
Your daddy´s here again he´s got his anger
    Am       D        G
and way too drunk to speak
            Bm               Am        D
So he can't understand your misery at all

         Am 
It's the worst of days
       C                  D
And we hope that he fades away

    G    Em 
But oh, Christmas could have been good
G    Em
Oh, Christmas could have been good
        Am           Bm           Am      Bm          G
It´s a shame that we have with a family affairs but still

Em                 
Christmas could have been good
G    Em
Oh, Christmas could have been good
         Am           Bm         Am           C         D
And the dream that we had was a dream but the worst of days
                G   
It couldn't be good!
