[Intro] E9 (for 4 measures)
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
E9   G#7/B#     C#m7add11
Here comes  the cold
Bb7b5  Amaj7
Break  out the winter clothes
    Am       E2/G#
And find a love
   G13
To call your own
 
E9   G#7/B#     C#m7add11
You, en-  -ter you
Bb7b5 Amaj7
Your  cheeks a shade of pink
        Am       E2/G#
And the rest of you
   G13
In pow-der blue
 
G#m7b5 Amaj7 D7/F#       Gsus#4/2  G2
Who    knows what  will be?
    E7/G# Amaj7    D7/F#         Gsus#4/2
But I’ll  make you this  guarantee
G2
See
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Esus4        E            B6/D#           B6
No    way No-vem-ber will see   our goodbye
           D6                   C#7
When it comes to December, it’s ob- vious why
F#m7     E/G#     Em7   D/F#   Asus2                A  E9
No   one wants to be  a-lone at      Christmastime
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
       E9    G#7/B#        C#m7add11
In the dark, on     the phone
    Bb7b5           Amaj7
You tell  me the names of your brothers
         Am            E2/G#
And your fa-vorite col-ors
    G13
I’m learn-ing you
    E9      G#7/B#   C#m7add11
And when it snows  a-gain
Bb7b5 Amaj7
We’ll take a walk outside
    Am          E2/G#
And search the sky
     G13
Like chil-dren do
I’ll say to you
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Esus4        E            B6/D#           B6
No    way No-vem-ber will see   our goodbye
           D6                   C#7
When it comes to December, it’s ob- vious why
F#m7     E/G#     Em7   D/F#   A
No   one wants to be  a-lone at  Christmastime
 
    Esus4       E         B6/D#         B6
And come  Januar-y, we’re fro- zen inside
       D6                C#7
Making new resolutions a hun-dred times
F#m7   E/G#   Em7       D/F#    A
Feb-ru-ar- y, won’t you be   my   Valentine?
          F#m7 E9/G# A2            B7sus4         E
And we’ll both be    safe till St. Pat- -rick’s Day
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Am7
We  should take a ride tonight around the town
    D9                               G
And look around at all the beautiful hou-ses
Am7                                        D9
Some-thing in the way the blue lights on a black night
                    G   G6  G
Can make you feel more
      Em7       A7
Every-bod-y, it seems to me
     C           D            Esus4  E  B6/D#
Just wants to be like you and me
 
B6 – D6 – C#7
 
F#m7     E/G#     Em7   D/F#   A
No   one wants to be  a-lone at  Christmastime
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    Esus4       E         B6/D#         B6
And come  Januar-y, we’re fro- zen inside
       D6                C#7
Making new resolutions a hun-dred times
F#m7   E/G#   Em7       D/F#    A2
Feb-ru-ar- y, won’t you be   my   Valentine?
 
 
[Outro]
 
           F#m7  E/G#    A2            B4
And if our al- - ways is all that we gave
       F#m7  E/G#  A2          B4
And we some- day   take that a-way
          F#m7  E/G#
I’ll be all     right
          A2            B4           E9
If it was just till St. Pat-rick’s Day
 
A2 – B4 – E9 (2x)

Dear lord. I'll never learn this song. What does JM have to be so difficult? It's one of my favorite JM songs. To my luck, the chord list is 10000000 miles long. It scares the crap out of me. Even what graffitio_0321 said didn't make it sound any better The fact that you are good enough to tab this out in such detail makes me assume it's right. Too bad I'll never know for sure! :-/ I'll leave this song to the real guitar players.
