   F C E7 F C C7 F C

C       G            C
Comin' back from the country
        Am            C7    F
For the good food and lousy beer
     F           C           E7            F
This winter's so dry and the dirt road so dusty
       C        G       F                       C
At the merest fall of rain, the bacteria bloom

Chorus:
          F           C    C     C
You don't have to be alone to be lonesome
        C    E7 F
It's so easy to forget
    F              C              E7                F
The sadness comes crashin' like a brick through the window
         C            G          C
And it's Christmas so no one can fix it

Instrumental: C G C C C7 F

Verse 2:
C        G    C               Am    C7      F
Tethered to a table with that happy holiday crowd
         F       C
And it's anchors aweigh
E7                 F
Looks like smooth sailin'
        C      G       F                       C
But the merest hint of waves could capsize you

Chorus:
          F           C     C     C
You don't have to be alone to be lonesome
        C    E7 F
It's so easy to forget
    F               C              E7                F
The sadness comes crashin' like a brick through the window
         C            G          C
And it's Christmas so no one can fix it

Bridge:
       G             C
The desire for annihilation
      C         C7      F
Is as common as it is unkind
         F                         C
And it's hard to recognize the situation
            G                  F
When you're desperately tryin' to have a good time

Chorus:
          F            C    C     C
You don't have to be alone to be lonesome
        C    E7 Am
It's easy to forget
    F              C               E7                F
The sadness comes crashin' like a brick through the window
         C            G7         C
And it's Christmas so no one can fix it

Outro:
           G
Yeah, it's Christmas
              F
So no one can fix it
