Its Not Christmas Till Somebody Cries

Em                  C      D
It's not Christmas, no-oh-oh
Em                  C      D
It's not Christmas, no-oh-oh
Em                  C             D
It's not Christmas till somebody cries
  C          Bm
(Ho, ho-ho, ho-ho-ho)


[Verse 1]

C                          D
Everybody made it home for Christmas Eve
C                                D
Tried to keep it cool around the Christmas tree
    Em             D            C
But every year we sing a little song to survive, that
Bm       Am             G
It's not Christmas till somebody cries
C                                 D
My boyfriend is a vegan, so they fed him fish
C                                 D
My uncle made it worse by talking politics
Em          D                     C
I had a few opinions, might have started a fight, well
Bm       Am             G
It's not Christmas till somebody cries


[Chorus]

C
It's not Christmas
         Em               D
Till we all break down in tears
C
It's not Christmas (No-oh-oh)
         Em               D
It's the best time of the year


[Verse 2]

C                               D
Grandpa ate the gummies that we meant to hide
C                                    D
We tried to play it off like it's a holiday high
   Em                D                C
He unwrapped all the presents and he ruined the surprise, well
Bm       Am             G
It's not Christmas till somebody–
 C                               D
Breaks into an argument, ooh, I used to fight it (Oh, oh, oh)
 C                              D
We get emotional too, I won't deny it (Oh, oh, oh)
   Em                 D              C
I used to hide in my room, but now I like it
       Bm        Am            G
'Cause it's not Christmas till somebody cries


[Chorus]

C
It's not Christmas
         Em               D
Till we all break down in tears
C
It's not Christmas (No-oh-oh)
         Em               D
It's the best time of the year


[Post-Chorus]

It's not Christmas
  Bm
(Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody)

Till somebody cries
  Em
(Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody)

Till somebody cries


[Bridge]

C                         D
Waking up too early in my childhood bed
C                                  D
The nieces and the nephews jumping on my head
 Em                  D                  C
They keep on asking questions like, "Is Santa a lie?", well
 Bm       Am            G
It's not Christmas till somebody cries


[Outro]

 C
It's not Christmas, no-oh-oh
 C
It's not Christmas, no-oh-oh (Have a holly jolly)
 Em               C             D
The secret is to sing a little song to survive, that
 Bm       Am            G
It's not Christmas till somebody cries (Till somebody cries)
      Bm       Am             G
No, it's not Christmas till somebody cries (No, it's not Christmas)
 Bm        Am           G
It's not Christmas till somebody cries
