[Intro] 
D
[Verse 1] 
DD/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] 
AD But you should know that I died slow
BmG Running through the halls of your haunted home
AD And the toughest part is that we both know
Bm What happened to you
G Why you’re out on your own
AD Merry Christmas, please don’t call
 [Verse 2] 
DD/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] 
AD But you should know that I died slow
BmG Running through the halls of your haunted home
AD And the toughest part is that we both know
Bm What happened to you
G Why you’re out on your own
AD 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] 
GAD But you should know that I died slow
BmG Running through the halls of your haunted home
AD And the toughest part is that we both know
Bm What happened to you
G Why you’re out on your own
AG Merry Christmas, please don’t call
AG Merry Christmas, I’m not yours at all
ADBm Merry Christmas, please don’t call me
 [Outro] 
GA Please don’t call me
DBm Please don’t call me
