[Chorus]
C             E         Am
I'm hoping it rains for Christmas
       F          G            C
'Cause I miss you most when it snows
             E7
I sit in the drive 'cause
  Am
I can't stand the sight
       F            C
Of you not standing there
at the door
              E         Am
I'm hoping it pours for Christmas
   F          G            C
So my sisters don't see me cry
              E            Am
I sit by your chair and pretend
that you're there
      F           G
Until I'm driving home
            C
through the night

[Verse 1]
  F                C
I turn off all the songs
      E7           F
Look away from the lights
            C             Dm
Maybe I can make it to at least
New Years Eve
       G
Till I fall on my knees

[Chorus]
    C         E          Am
I'm hoping it storms for New Year's
   F       Dm        C
So I never have to explain
             E7
Why I stayed in and
     Am       G
lost my mind again
        F
Wishing you could
     Dm         C   F
come back for a day

[Bridge]
F                  C
You're still in my phone
      E          F
And I don't know why
                  C
Sometimes I still text
             Dm
you how I am doing
                  G
And how hard this is to go through

[Chorus]
    C           E        Am
I'm hoping it's warm for Christmas
   F          C
So it doesn't feel like it's here
                E
I can't say goodbye when
   Am             C
my heart couldn't try
      F         G           Am
Maybe I can let you go next year
      F             G       Am
Maybe I can let you go next year
      F         C
Maybe I can let you go next year
