[Verse 1]
D
Every year around this time, I start to think about you
Bm
We’re really gonna have another Christmas Eve without you
G                                         A
I can’t believe it’s been so long
D
Everyday finds a way to make me think about you
Bm
Like today when we were picking out the tree without you
G                     A
I can’t believe it’s been so long

[Pre-Chorus]
D
Oh, we miss you like hell, all the stories that you’d tell
Bm
‘Bout the boat that you built, but never got to sail
G                                                                                         A
I don’t know whether I should cry or I should smile through my tears
But if you were here we would

[Chorus]
D
Sail that boat into the red horizon
Bm
Those years lost, I’d tell you all about ’em
G                                                       A
Gone don’t always mean that you disappear
‘Cause inside all of us you’re still here

D
Another year has passed and now it’s time for buying the presents
Bm
I even got you one forgetting you’re not gonna get it
G                                     A
I can’t believe it’s been so long
D
This time around we’ll try to smile ’cause we’re sick of tears
Bm
Most days are easy now, but it gets hard this time of year
G                                     A
I can’t believe you’re really gone
