[Verse 1]
    D            Em             D/F#   G
For once in your life, make it matter
    D             Em          D/F#   G
For once in your life, let it be
  D           Em          D/F#   G
Why don't you hand it all over?
     Em
And sing it loudly with me?
D            Em        D/F#    G
Soon we will all be forgotten
      D               Em          D/F#   G
But while we're all still here on Earth
 D          Em       D/F#         G
Sing about love and forget about loss
     Em                        G
And shout for whatever you're worth

[Pre-Chorus]
G           A
(Christmas time)
A
C'mon, spread the word
G           A
(Christmas time)
A
Doesn't everyone hurt?

[Chorus]
D                     G
 Do you remember the good old days
     Cadd9                    D
When all the children would cheer?
                   G
Well, the time's around, my friends
Cadd9          D
Santa's nearly here
                                 G
Christmas time, Christmas time, merry Christmas
Cadd9            D
And a happy new year
                           G
Seasons come, seasons go, winter song
Cadd9               D
Time for change is here

[Verse 2]
D           Em           D/F#    G
Mum's got a lot to get together
     D         Em            D/F#   G
And dad, he provides what he can
              D          Em        D/F#    G
They've been saving up forever and ever and ever
        Em               G
Just to do it all over again

[Pre-Chorus]
G           A
(Christmas time)
A
Got me dreaming of home
G           A
(Christmas time)
                        D
Fills my heart full of hope

[Chorus]
D                     G
 Do you remember the good old days
     Cadd9                    D
When all the children would cheer?
                   G
Well, the time's around, my friends
Cadd9          D
Santa's nearly here
                                 G
Christmas time, Christmas time, merry Christmas
Cadd9            D
And a happy new year
                           G
Seasons come, seasons go, winter song
Cadd9               D
Time for change is here

[Bridge]
   Bm           G
A time for a change
 A       G
Must be here
    Bm                       G
So send all your loving out into the world
A            G
It's your gift

[Chorus]
D                     G
 Do you remember the good old days
     Cadd9                    D
When all the children would cheer?
                   G
Well, the time's around, my friends
Cadd9          D
Santa's nearly here
                                 G
Christmas time, Christmas time, merry Christmas
Cadd9            D
And a happy new year
                           G
Seasons come, seasons go, winter song
Cadd9               D
Time for change is here
