C             G               D            Em
The fireplace is burning bright, shining all on me
   C                G              D  
I see the presents underneath the good old Christmas tree
      C                    G              D                Em
And I wait all night 'til Santa comes to wake me from my dreams
D    C                  D           G
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me

   C                G                  D             Em
I see the children play outside, like angels in the snow
       C             G             D
While mom and daddy share a kiss under the mistletoe
             C                G                D          Em
And we'll cherish all these simple things wherever we may be
D     C                 D            G
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me

[Chorus]
                C                   G
I've got this Christmas song in my heart
                D                    Em     Am
I've got the candles glowing in the dark
             C                                  Bm   Em
I'm hanging all the stockings by the Christmas tree
D     C                 D           Em
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me
      C                 D           G
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me

[Verse 2]
   C              G               D               Em
I listen for the thud of reindeer walking on the roof
      C              G              D
As I fall asleep to lullabies, the morning's coming soon
     C              G                D          Em
The only gift I'll ever need is the joy of family
D   C                   D           G
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me

[Chorus]
                C                   G
I've got this Christmas song in my heart
                D                    Em     Am
I've got the candles glowing in the dark
             C                                  Bm   Em
I'm hanging all the stockings by the Christmas tree
D     C                 D           Em
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me
      C                 D           G
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me

[Bridge]
  C         G
Ooooohhhhoooohhooohhh
   D         Em
Ooooohhhhoooohhooohhh
        C                                       Bm    Em
Oh, the joy that fills our hearts and makes us see
D   C                  D           G
Oh, why? Cause that's Christmas to me

[Chorus]
               C                    G
I've got this Christmas song in my heart
              D                      Em   G
I've got the candles glowing in the dark
              C                                   Bm    Em
And then for years to come we'll always know one thing
 D          C         D             Em
That's the love that Christmas can bring
     C                 D            G
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me
