C                        F
Don't tell the truth this Christmas 
Am                       G
Don't go break somebody's heart 
  C                       F
If you're not in love anymore just pretend 
         Am                       G
And then wait for the New Year to start 
F      G    C
New Year to start.

Don't think too much this Christmas 
Am                             G
Don't let your brain break your heart 
         C                          F
Cause one day you will see lies can make you happy 
      Am                       G
Until then from me love do not part 

          F       G     C   Am    C
Just like snow on Christmas day 
     F       G          C
Just lie and say you'll stay 

F Am G C F Am G

C                         F
I'm not saying you should lie 
 Am                            G
I just think at Christmas it's hard to get by 

      C                    F
And if you bite your lip if you pluck up some tact 
  Am                           G
If you wait for New Year before you really act 
F         G     C
You won't regret that 

F Am G C F Am G

  C                         F
If you’re not sure what to get me 
Am                               G
This Christmas here's what would make me happy 
 C                           F
If you really don't love me or want me no more 
          Am                G
Wait till January before you walk out the door 
F     G  C   Am  G
Let December be

My Christmas reprieve

C                         F
Don't tell the truth this Christmas 
Am                   G
Let's not admit to the way 
C                               F
That nothing you have will stay quite how it was 
        Am                    G
And the people you love will not stay 


   F                  G    C   Am    C
Let's pretend they're like the snow 
       F        G    C     Am  C
How we lie that they won't go 
   F         C          Am   C
So please pretend I'm right 
        F         G    C   G
And may all your Christmases...

Be white
