G                 C              G 
Today I took some paper from the closet 
    C                   D7            G     D7 
And wrapped the wedding ring you left behind 
      G                   C                G 
And I addressed it to the man who vowed to love you 
           C             D7                G 
And on the little card I wrote these words inside 

                   C 
Merry Christmas to me 
D7                       G   D7 Em 
Just one gift beneath my tree 
                         C 
For the fool who let you leave 
D7                 G 
Merry Christmas to me 

                      C                 G 
Then I sat down in my chair and thought about you 
C              D7                 G 
About the many reasons why you're gone 
                    C              G 
And I opened up the present that I gave me 
       C                 D7          G 
And realized how much it hurts to be alone 

                   C 
Merry Christmas to me 
D7                       G   D7  Em 
Just one gift beneath my tree 
                         C 
For the fool who let you leave 
D7                 G  D7 Em 
Merry Christmas to me 

                         C 
I'm the fool who let you leave 
D7                 G 
Merry Christmas to me
