Em
The colder it gets outside
    F
The more it warms my soul
G
Christmas is on my mind
       Am
I just gotta make it home
   Em
It won't be long till I am singing
       F
To the rhythm of the Salvation Army bell ringing
         G
But this road keeps going for miles and miles
   Am
Oh please get me there on time


[Chorus]
C       G
Hold on Christmas
Am
I'm begging you please
C       G
Hold on Christmas
Am
Christmas wait for me
      Em F G Am
For me


[Verse]
      Em
Tell Santa to take his time
      F
Don't be in such a rush
     G
Just give me a chance
         Am
So I can get there before he does
        Em
I gotta see my baby and hold her hand
            F
While we're watching It's A Wonderful Life again
         G
It'™s the only present I need right now
   Am
So please could you help me out


[Chorus]
C       G
Hold on Christmas
Am
I'm begging you please
C       G
Hold on Christmas
Am
Christmas wait for me
      Em F G Am
For me


[Bridge]
                  G
Gifts beneath the tree
                C
Kids pretend to sleep
                       G
It's finally Christmas Eve
                 C
So keep the fire bright
                   G
Don't turn out the light
               C
I'll be home tonight


[Chorus]
C       G
Hold on Christmas
Am
I'm begging you please
C       G
Hold on Christmas
Am
Christmas wait for me
C       G
Hold on Christmas
Am
I'm begging you please
C       G
Hold on Christmas
Am                   Em F G Am
Christmas wait for me
Am                   Em F G Am
Christmas wait for me
Am                   Em F G Am
Christmas wait for me
N.C.
For me
