Rob Carroll - Just Because Its Christmas

Piano Intro Acoustic Guitar (2x) verse 1 It’s around this time of year I get to thinking About all the things I wish I’d said or done If I ever get myself together I’ll be stunned I know that I can’t be the only one verse 2 Resolutions rarely lead to revolutions No not everyone can spark one from their bed I’m tired and uninspired, truth be told rather be dead The past is something I can’t seem to shed Pre-Chorus But it’s Christmas I’ll go through the motions Atoning for mistakes I haven’t made It’s the litmus, of my devotion To people that don’t matter anyway Just because it’s Christmas doesn’t mean I’m having fun Despite all my ambition, what exactly have I done? Interlude Guitar Solo Pre-Chorus But it’s Christmas I’ll go through the motions Atoning for mistakes I haven’t made Just because it’s Christmas doesn’t mean I’m having fun Despite all my ambition, what exactly have I done? Outro I keep hoping maybe next year things will change Then when nothing’s different I try to assuage and smile As time passes me by I send more prayers than postcards despite all I lack Yet every movement forward brings me two steps back It’s time for cheer, maybe next year And I won’t find anything I need beneath the tree Or anyone around it that might disagree That just because it’s Christmas doesn’t mean I’m having fun Just because it’s Christmas doesn’t mean I’m having fun.
