[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D D/F#
To the tempo of your uptight
Bm
Is the flicker of a street light
D
You know this moment don't ya
D/F#
And time is strangely calm now
Bm
‘Cause everybody's gone it's
D
Just you and your anger
[Pre-Chorus]
D/F# Bm
Oh golden boy, don't act like you were kind
D
You were mine but you were awful every time
D/F#
So don't tell them what you told me
Bm
Don't hold me like you know me
G
I would rather burn forever
[Chorus]
A D
But you should know that I died slow
Bm G
Running through the halls of your haunted home
A D
And the toughest part is that we both know
Bm
What happened to you
G
Why you're out on your own
A D
Merry Christmas, please don't call
[Verse 2]
D D/F#
You really left me on the line kid
Bm
Holding all your baggage
D
You know I'm not your father
D/F#
Who says welcome to your uptight
Bm
While it flickers like a street light
D
He flickers through your damage
[Pre-Chorus]
D/F# Bm
Oh golden boy you shined a light on our home
D
And at your best, you were magic, we were sold
D/F#
So don't tell them what you told me
Bm
Don't even tell them that you know me
G
I would rather burn forever
[Chorus]
A D
But you should know that I died slow
Bm G
Running through the halls of your haunted home
A D
And the toughest part is that we both know
Bm
What happened to you
G
Why you're out on your own
A D
Merry Christmas, please don't call
[Bridge]
D
One ticket out of your heavy gaze
D
I want one ticket off of your carousel
D
I want one ticket out of your heavy gaze
D
I want one ticket off of your carousel
[Chorus]
G A D
But you should know that I died slow
Bm G
Running through the halls of your haunted home
A D
And the toughest part is that we both know
Bm
What happened to you
G
Why you're out on your own
A G
Merry Christmas, please don't call
A G
Merry Christmas, I'm not yours at all
A D Bm
Merry Christmas, please don't call me
[Outro]
G A
Please don't call me
D Bm
Please don't call me
G A D
