Christmas is kind of almost here

The first excited thought about the

Parties still ages away
A                                         E
  Watching people lose their mind from hearing

Christmas time is wonderful
      D#m         G#
Keine Traurigkeit und Verfall

But there’s a special magic in seeing a tragic

Middle-aged man lose his shit
 
[Pre-Chorus]

We’re still stuck in work and school

F#                A
Not Quite time to deck the halls
  E                             B
Almost time to give your family a call
