You´re feeling down 
            C                     Bm 
And there´s no one around who can see 
        Am         D       G 
Why you keep your head up high 
        Bm               Am            D 
Little sister´s running around with candy 
         G 
And you don´t

Wanna suffer your pride so you shut up 
            Am      D      G 
While your mommy's crying loud 
          Bm            Am 
Daddy´s decorating the wall 
         D 
And the christmas trees 

          Am 
it's the worst of days 
        C                D

     G    Em  
And oh, Christmas could have been good

Oh, Christmas could have been good

It´s a shame what you have with your family affair but still

Christmas could have been good 
G    Em 
Oh, Christmas could have been good 
       Am            Bm         Am             Bm 
Was a dream that you had but a dream that has passed away 

G     Em    Am    C     D 
                G 
Your house was made 
 C                            Bm 
Of blood and tears you wanna pray 
Am       D     G 
From the opera 
                Bm        Am 
But you got no money to escape 
       D 
from tragedy 

        G 
Bad luck girl 
      C                               Bm 
Your daddy´s here again he´s got his anger 
    Am       D        G 
and way too drunk to speak 
            Bm               Am        D 
So he can't understand your misery at all 

         Am  
It's the worst of days 
       C                  D 
And we hope that he fades away 

    G    Em  
But oh, Christmas could have been good 
G    Em 
Oh, Christmas could have been good 
        Am           Bm           Am      Bm          G 
It´s a shame that we have with a family affairs but still 

Em                  
Christmas could have been good 
G    Em 
Oh, Christmas could have been good 
         Am           Bm         Am           C         D 
And the dream that we had was a dream but the worst of days 
                G    
It couldn't be good!
