[Verse 1]
G                         C              G
Is this the room where we learned how to cry
     Em                      C               G
Tears of festive joy for the very first time?
          G                     C             G
Was there laughter and kindness echoing these halls?
             Em                         C               G
And its sweet flickering candlelight on stands on these walls?
   G          E7      Am           Cm
If I could go back to any place in mind,
Bm                             C         D
Christmas at our house was our favourite time.

[Chorus]
G                            Am
Christmas at our house was a time for good cheer,
      D                   C          G
So be sure to remember to not shed a tear
G                        E7
For the loved ones we've lost.
   Am             Cm
Forever hold them dear.
Bm                             C    D       G
Christmas at our house was the best time of year.

[Verse 2]
G                            C              G
Or is this the room where we learned how to give?
Em                     C            G
Boxes with ribbons and presents within.
         G                            C                 G
With the candles for the reindeer and whiskey for Saint Nick.
      Em                             C              G
Did a bowl smell of spruce meat, the sweet taste of fig?
       G                       C           G
And we sang to the cinders and logs on the fire,
          Em                       Am7       D
While the TV ran repeats of It's A Wonderful Life.
  G              E          Am          Cm
I remember it so well and I will till I die.
Bm                             C        D
Christmas at our house was the happiest time.

G                            Am
Christmas at our house was a time for good cheer,
      D                   C          G
So be sure to remember to not shed a tear
G                        E7
For the loved ones we've lost.
   Am             Cm
Forever hold them dear.
Bm                             C    D       G

[Verse 3]
G                         C            G
This is the room where we said our goodbyes,
      Em                      C          G
Where Mom held your hand from dusk until light.
           G                             C          G
Now at the head of our table, there's an empty chair.
Em                                     C           G
Who on this green earth will carve the turkey this year?
       G          E7      Am           Cm
And if I could go back to any place in mind,
Bm                             C        D
