Trans-siberian Orchestra - What Is Christmas Chords

[Verse]
C
What is christmas?
Tinseled fairytales
Day old stockings lined up in a row
What is christmas
Could someone tell me that?
What is christmas?
                     D
Surely, I don't know
    G/D  C/D   D
And everywhere these lights
    G/D   C/D    D
Who needs to color night?
      G/D  C/D         D
Could this whole thing be planned?
  G/D C/D     C
I do not understand
This christmas
Trees with colored lights
Underneath they still are only trees
Do you think that one day perhaps they might
Find that christmas
Is kind of a disease?
F
Every year it's waiting for me
Waiting for me
Every year it constantly defies
G
Placing strangers
There before me
There before me
Spreading hope and cheer
Mixed in with happiness
                                    C
Fraternal bliss and other christmas lies!
Dm                              A7
And there's one more thing that I have discovered
     Dm                      A7
That I would now like you to know
    Dm                     A7
The reason for christmas I now realize
      Dm                      A7
Is an excuse to tolerate snow
Snow!
I don't even like the sound of it
Anyway, where was I
Oh, yes!
C
What is christmas?
Candles everywhere
A fire hazard any other day
Children light them
No one seems to care
All for christmas
C             Dm
Every year it returns here
    Em              F
And every year it's waiting for me
C                   Dm
Why can't christmas disappear
    Em              F
And just pretend it never saw me
C            Dm
Every year I get my hopes up
Em               F
That it will somehow just leave
    C            Dm
But every year I wake to find
     Em            F            G   C
That once again it now is christmas eve
