[Intro]
 
C#m F#m A E
 
[Verse 1]
E
Santa’s earnt some time off
F#
He’s taking a break
             A                    E
You’ve got to remember, the month of November
E
Is still his holiday (Ba-dum-bum-bum)
E
So imagine how stressed he gets when he
         G#
Sees people hanging ornaments a
C#m        A            B     E
Full forty days before Christ-mas —
N.C.
Pretty stressed, right?
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m                  A
Everyone loves Christmas time, but
E
Start too early and get punched in the
      F#m                       G#m
Face. Once you’re done with Halloween
A                        B
Here’s something new for you and me
 
[Interlude]
E     C#m      F#m    A       B      E
 
[Chorus]
C#m                     F#
Not Quite Almost Christmas Time
               A
A very special time of year where
                            E
Christmas is kind of almost here
     C#m
It’s not Christmas; almost
     F#m                      F#
That starts December 1st, I’m talkin’
E   C#m      F#m  A      B   E
Not Quite Al-most Christ-mas Time
 
[Verse 2]
E
The first excited thought about the
F#7
Parties still ages away
A                                         E
  Watching people lose their mind from hearing
N.C.
Premature Michael Bublé
E
Christmas time is wonderful
      D#m         G#
Keine Traurigkeit und Verfall
C#m
But there’s a special magic in seeing a tragic
A
Middle-aged man lose his shit
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m
At a supermarket clerk
F#7                             F#m
For playing Christmas music at work
       Am       A
Before December 1st
    B                                C#m
The true meaning of Not Quite Almost Christmas
C#m
Gather ‘round the Not Quite
F#
Almost Christmas Tree which is
     A
Just leftover decorations
                           E
Not pulled down from Halloween
E     C#m F#m
La La La  La
B     E

Let’s go
 
[Chorus]
C#m                     F#
Not Quite Almost Christmas Time
           F#m                  A
When shops and parks are never full, ‘cause
                              E
We’re still stuck in work and school
C#m
It’s not Christmas; almost
     F#m             F#
That starts December 1st, I’m talkin’
E   C#m      F#m  A      B   E
Not Quite Al-most Christ-mas Time
 
[Bridge]
F#                A
Not Quite time to deck the halls
  E                             B
Almost time to give your family a call
      F#                   A
Actually, I take that last one back
          E                       B
Any time of the year you can call your mother
    F#                 A
Not quite Christmas is sublime, but
E                              B
What about Not Quite Not Quite Almost Christmas Time?
F#m            G#m
We love season celebration
A            B
Amplified by antici- (Gotta have that antici-)

[Chorus]
C#m       A             E

Present I changed up the chords
       F#m             A                E
Have a merry Not Quite Almost Christmas Time
N.C.
It’s the middle of July

     G#m            A

Not Quite Al-most Christ-mas Time
              Santa's earnt some time off
He's taking a break
You've got to remember, the month of November
Is still his holiday
So imagine how stressed he gets when he
Sees people hanging ornaments a
Full forty days before Christmas
Pretty stressed, right?

Everyone loves Christmas time
But start too early and get punched in the face
Once you're done with Halloween
Here's something new for you and me

Not quite almost Christmas time
A very special time of year where
Christmas is kind of almost here
It's not Christmas, almost
That starts December first
I'm talking not quite almost Christmas time

The first excited thought about the parties
Still ages away
Watching people lose their mind from hearing
Premature Michael Bublé
Christmas time is wonderful
Keine Traurigkeit und Verfall
But there's a special magic in seeing a tragic
Middle aged man lose his shit

At a supermarket clerk
For playing Christmas music at work
Before December first
The true meaning of not quite almost Christmas
Gather round the not quite
Almost Christmas tree
Which is just leftover decorations
Not pulled down from Halloween
Let's go

Not quite almost Christmas time
A very special time of year where
Christmas is kind of almost here
It's not Christmas, almost
That starts December first
I'm talking not quite almost Christmas time

Not quite time to deck the halls
Almost time to give your family a call
Actually, I take that last one back
Any time of the year, you can call your mother
Not quite Christmas is sublime
But what about not quite, not quite lmost Christmas time?
We love season celebration, amplified by antici-
Gotta have that antici-
Pation

Not quite almost
Here's your, present I've changed up the chords
Have a merry not quite almost Christmas time
It's the middle of July, I know
It's not Christmas, almost
That starts December first
I'm talking not quite almost Christmas time
I'm talking not quite almost Christmas time
Not quite almost Christmas time
