Tone: [D]
Verse 1:
[D] To the tempo of your [D]uptight
Is the flicker of a [Bm]street light
You know this moment don’t [D]ya
And time is strangely [D]calm now
‘Cause everybody’s [Bm]gone it’s
Just you and your an[D]anger
Pre-Chorus:
Oh golden [D]boy, don’t act like you were [Bm]kind
You were mine but you were awful every [D]time
So don’t tell them what you [D]told me
Don’t hold me like you [Bm]know me
I would rather burn fore[G]forever
Chorus:
But you should [A]know that I died [D]slow
Running through the [Bm]halls of your haunted [G]home
And the toughest [A]part is that we both [D]know
What happened to [Bm]you
Why you’re out on your [G]own
Merry [A]Christmas, please don’t [D]call
Verse 2:
[D] You really left me on the [D]line kid
Holding all your [Bm]baggage
You know I’m not your fat[D]father
Who says welcome to your [D]uptight
While it flickers like a [Bm]street light
He flickers through your da[D]damage
Pre-Chorus:
Oh golden [D]boy you shined a light on our [Bm]home
And at your best, you were magic, we were [D]sold
So don’t tell them what you [D]told me
Don’t even tell them that you [Bm]know me
I would rather burn fore[G]forever
Chorus:
But you should [A]know that I died [D]slow
Running through the [Bm]halls of your haunted [G]home
And the toughest [A]part is that we both [D]know
What happened to [Bm]you
Why you’re out on your [G]own
Merry [A]Christmas, please don’t [D]call
Bridge:
[D]One ticket out of your heavy gaze
I [D]want one ticket off of your carousel
I [D]want one ticket out of your heavy gaze
I [D]want one ticket off of your carousel
Chorus:
[G] But you should [A]know that I died [D]slow
Running through the [Bm]halls of your haunted [G]home
And the toughest [A]part is that we both [D]know
What happened to [Bm]you
Why you’re out on your [G]own
Merry [A]Christmas, please don’t [G]call
Merry [A]Christmas, I’m not yours at [G]all
Merry [A]Christmas, please don’t [D]call me [Bm]
Outro:
Please don’t [G]call m[A]me
Please don’t [D]call m[Bm]me
Please don’t [G]call m[A]me [D]
