G Am Em C

[Verse 1]
G Am
Tell me, where did we go wrong?
Em C
We should be singing Christmas songs
G Am
Instead of shouting all night long
Em C
Like we do
G Am
We keep fighting in the street
Em C
When we should be home wrapped in the sheets
G Am
Putting presents underneath the tree
Em C
For me and you

[Pre-Chorus]
Am
I know we had our fair share
Em D
Of breaking up, and making up
Am
I promise you we’ll get there
Em D
So don’t give up, no

[Chorus]
G Am
If we can make it through December
Em C
Maybe we’ll make it through forever
G Am
‘Cause a-ll I want for Christmas

It hasn’t been the greatest year
Em C
But through thick and thin we made it here
G Am
Just keep holding onto me
Em C
And I’ll hold you
G Am
But we made it through the hardest part
Em C
And I followed you, the brightest star
G Am
I just wanna be where you are
Em C
Right where you are

I know we had our fair share

I promise you we’ll get there

If we can make it through December

How to play All I Want (For Christmas): key, chords and progression

All I Want (For Christmas) by Liam Payne is built around G major (one sharp: F♯), with 5 chords in all: G, Am, Em, C and D.

Listen for G – Am – Em – C (I – ii – vi – IV in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – reh – lah – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
