[Intro]

G    G    G    Cadd9 D
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
G
Christmas night, another fight
                  Cadd9 D
Tears, we cried a flood
G
Got all kinds of poison in
                Cadd9 D
Of poison in my blood
  G
I took my feet to Oxford Street
                  Cadd9 D
Trying to right a wrong
     G
Just walk away, those windows say
                          Cadd9 D
But I can't believe she's gone
 
 
[Refrain]
 
     Cadd9
When you're still waiting for the snow to fall
                         Dsus2
Doesn't really feel like Christmas at all
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
G    G    G    Cadd9 D
G    G    G    Cadd9 D
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
         Em7
Up above candles on air flicker
         Cadd9            G
Oh, they flicker and they float
        G
But I'm up here holding on
             Dsus4          D
To all those chandeliers of hope
          Em7
Like some drunken Elvis singing
     Cadd9          G
I go singing out of tune
       G
Saying how I always loved you darling
Dsus4        D
And I always will
 
 
[Refrain]
 
         Cadd9
Oh, when you're still waiting for the snow to fall
                         Dsus2
Doesn't really feel like Christmas at all
Cadd9
     Still waiting for the snow to fall
                            Dsus2
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
G  G/F#  Em7  Bm  Cadd9     D (Break)
 
Time signature change
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em7   Em7 Dsus4 G
Those Christmas lights
 
Light up the street
               Cadd9        G
Down where the sea and city meet
             Cadd9            Em7
May all your troubles soon be gone
Em7 Em7 Dsus4 G                    G
Oh, Christmas lights, keep shining on
 
Em7   Em7 Dsus4 G
Those Christmas lights
 
Light up the street
              Cadd9             G
Maybe they'll bring her back to me
            Cadd9            Em7
Then all my troubles will be gone
Em7 Em7 Dsus4 G                    G
Oh, Christmas lights, keep shining on

Oh, Christmas lights
 
Light up the street
             Cadd9        G
Light up the fireworks in me
             Cadd9            Em7
May all your troubles soon be gone
Em7   Em7 Dsus4 G       Cadd9        G
Those Christmas lights, keep shining on

Thanks :) Yeah you could just play a normal D I suppose, but I thought that D variation, whatever it may be, captured the sound more accurately.
