[Verse 1]
[G]I k[F]now[G][C][G][D][F#dim][G][Am][C]
[Am]Chri[Em]stmas[G] ti[Am]me's forgiven,
[G]a time for us to share
But I'd be doing myself a disservice
pretend[Dm]ing l[G]ike I [Am]care
And I don't need no mistletoe
for [F]me [G]and you [Am]to kiss
An[Em]d I [G]know it's
probably not for common
for me to act like [C]this
I've been [Am]really [C]good all year,
an[F]d I think it's [Am]safe to [D]say
That [G]now that Christmas time is near,
I think [Dm]I should get[G] my way
[C]So [G]whi[Am]le you're out there shopping,
baby, [Dm]keep one thing in [G]mind
[Dm]I'm the most importa[G]nt person,
[Dm]that's by [G]God's [C]design
[Em]You [Am]don't have to thank me now,[C]
you can [F]thank me on [C]Christmas [D]Eve
That [G]present you put under the tree
Better be for [C]me[G][F][G]
[Ebdim][G][Dm][Am][G]
Well I [Am]know your family's coming
And for [G]me that's hard to take
[Dm]Smal[G]l talk[F] las[G]ts for
[Am]fifteen [G]minutes
And the rest I'll have to [Am]fake
Word[C]s t[Am]hat come out of
your mama's mouth
[G]They'll attract some flies
They're [F]enough to [G]make baby
Jesus [Dm]roll his [G]baby eye[Am]s
Don't [C]you [F]worry,
[C]I'll be there spread[F]ing
Christmas [Am]cheer[D]
[G]Glad to know that this occasion
[Dm]only comes [G]once a [C]year
[G]So [C]while [Am]you're [F]out there [G]shopping,
[C]baby, kee[Dm]p one thing in min[G]d
[Dm]I'm the [F]most i[Dm]mport [G]ant person,
that's [Dm]by Go[G]d's de[C]sign
[G]You [C]don't hav[F]e to tha[C]nk me now,
you can [F]thank me on [C]Christmas [D]Eve
That [G]present you [F]put un
[Em]der the [Ebdim]tree,
[Dm]better be [G]for [C]me
[Am]You [C]don't[Ebdim][Dm][G][Dm][F][G][Dm]
[G]hav[C]e t[F]o t[Am]hank me n[C]ow,
you can [F]thank me on [C]Christmas [D]Eve
That [G]present you put under
the [D]tree[G]
Absolutely, positively, undeniably

[Outro 1]
Let it be for me!
[G][C]
