D#                 Cm7
This Christmas card is so contrived
Gm          A#
A mannequin looks more alive
D#                 Cm7
Haven't meant a word I've written here
Gm              A#
The page is full not one thing sincere

Chorus:
D#
I can't, I can't I can't, I can't take it
Cm
This is the time to smile, I can't fake it
 Gm                                         A#
Please allow me the chance now To break it down

           F                     Gm
It's not snow, It's rain coming down
        D#                       A#
And the lights are cool But they burn out
       F                  Gm
And I can't pull off the cheer
     Cm
Not this year Not this year Not this year

When I look
Into the mirror
No happiness
Is present here
Not supposed to whine (I forgot)
Not supposed to cry (I forgot)
I try to hold it in
But not this time

Chorus

 A#                   D#     A#            F 
Don't know, don't know   If you can hear me
 A#          D#       A#            F 
I will, I will Speak louder for you

No more whispering
Are you listening
I am pleading
I am pleading

Chorus:
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't take it
This is the time to smile I can't fake it
Please allow me the chance now to break it down
It's not snow, it's rain commin' down
And the lights are cool, but they burn out
And I can't pull off the cheer
Not this year
Not this year
I can't, I can't

It's not snow, it's rain commin' down
And the lights are cool, but they burn out
And I can't pull off the cheer
Not this year
Not this year
Not this year
Not this year
