[Verse 1]
             G
Baby, when December comes
                  Em7
When it's gettin' cold outside
         Am7
And your bags are packed
              D
I don't wanna say goodbye
               G
When I see the trees light up
                   Em7
When they hang the mistletoe
        Am7          
And I'm by the fire, 
              Dsus4
I don't wanna be alone

Baby, won't you take me

                  G
I wanna spend the night before
                   Em7
Drinkin' with your high 
school friends
           Am7
'Round the neighborhood
                     Dsus4 D
We could do a little carol-ing
         G         
Watchin' Santa fly 
         Em7
'cross a Christmas moon
           Am7        
Don't need gifts this 
        D
year if I got you
